Metacognition is a significant part of human abilities. Metacognitive knowledge can be described as what we know about our own cognitive processes (Young & Fry, 2008). This research aims at measuring perception of science teachers about metacognitive awareness. The sample consists of 52 science teachers from six schools in Perak, Malaysia. Metacognitive awareness was measured using Metacognitiv...

We examined the roles of metacognitive awareness of reading strategies, syntactic awareness in English, and English vocabulary knowledge in the English reading comprehension of Chinese-speaking university students (n = 278). Results suggested a two-factor model of a General Reading Knowledge factor (metacognitive awareness employed during the English reading process) and a Second Language (L2) ...

Metacognitive awareness has been shown to be a critical skill for academic success. However, students often struggle to regulate this ability during learning tasks. The current study investigates how features designed to promote metacognitive awareness can be built into the game-based intelligent tutoring system (ITS) iSTART-2. College students (n=28) interacted with iSTART-2 for one hour, comp...

Diplotene oocyte nucleus of the scorpionfly Panorpa communis is transcriptionally silent and contains numerous nuclear bodies including interchromatin granule clusters (IGCs). The latter consist of the granules of 30-50 nm in diameter and contain IGC marker protein SC35 as well as RNA polymerase II. In this study, we also localized in P. communis oocyte IGCs the transcription coactivators CBP/p...

The present study investigated test-taking motivation in L2 listening testing context by applying Expectancy-Value Theory as the framework. Specifically, this study was intended to examine the complex relationships among expectancy, importance, interest, listening anxiety, listening metacognitive awareness, and listening test score using data from a large-scale and high-stakes language test amo...

The current study evaluated a metacognitive account of study time allocation, which argues that metacognitive monitoring of recognition test accuracy and latency influences subsequent strategic control and regulation. The authors examined judgments of learning (JOLs), recognition test confidence judgments (CJs), and subjective response time (RT) judgments by younger and older adults in an assoc...

In this work the use of metacognition for the enhancement of webbased collaboration is presented. In particular the work focuses on the enhancement of the collaborative skills by means of developing metacognitive strategies. Through such strategies the individual is expected to be able to monitor his/her collaborative interactions and adjust them in order to enhance the effectiveness of his/her...

This paper presents theoretical issues about the role of metacognition in learning, as well as the architecture and design of a learning system dedicated to monitoring and helping students to use their metacognitive skills. This system is called the Reflection Assistant and is supposed to be used together with problem solving or case−based learning systems. Thus, through interactions with the R...

Computer programming is regarded as a difficult skill to learn both by researchers and often by learners themselves. Metacognition has been identified as an important factor to be a successful learner in learning computer programming. Metacognitive in educational psychology is generally described as monitoring and controlling activities of one’s cognition. The researchers have examined the Meta...

The purpose of this study was to explore the ways in which a concept mapping task could enhance the learning experience of preschool children by facilitating metacognitive skills involving planning, prediction, correcting errors and evaluating progress. Specifically, this study used discourse analysis from transcribed videotapes to explore child-adult interactions in three small groups as each ...
