BACKGROUND Over the last twenty years metacognitive theory has provided a novel framework, in the form of the Self-Regulatory Executive Function (S-REF) model, for conceptualizing psychological distress (Wells & Matthews, 1994, 1996). The S-REF model proposes that psychological distress persists because of unhelpful coping styles (e.g. extended thinking and thought suppression) which are activa...

This study aimed at investigating the possibility of improving EFL learners’ self-efficacy by implementing a metacognitive strategies instruction program. The participants were 53 female EFL learners who were divided into two experimental and control groups. The experimental group received an eight-week treatment on metacognitive strategies through descriptions, modeling, and practice. At the b...

Background Studies have shown the importance of metacognition in medical education. Metacognitive skills consist of two dimensions: knowledge of metacognition and regulation of metacognition. Aim This study hypothesizes that the knowledge and regulation of metacognition is significantly different at the beginning and end of the academic year, and a correlation exists between the two dimensions ...

This study aimed to explore what navigating strategies L2 learners use during listening in a self-regulated mobile learning environment and whether or not metacognitive awareness about mobile-assisted correlated text recall, incidental vocabulary duration when regulated their listening. Learners with low-level proficiency were randomly assigned an experimental group where they allowed control t...

Metacognitive modeling has begun to play an increasingly important role in adaptive eLearning to support learning and self-regulating processes. It is essential that students learn to regulate their learning through self-reflection by acquiring monitoring and pro-active strategies. The ETTHOS model currently estimates the metacognitive state of the learner by modeling both metacognitive awarene...

Introspection, or metacognition, is the capacity to reflect on our own thoughts and behaviours. Here, we investigated how one specific metacognitive ability (the relationship between task performance and confidence) develops in adolescence, a period of life associated with the emergence of self-concept and enhanced self-awareness. We employed a task that dissociates objective performance on a v...

There are several terms used to describe the same phenomenon, and the same term is used to describe different phenomena. It confuses us and makes metacognition miracle. What is metacognition? We have been tackling the problem by defining our own criteria for determining what metacognition is or what cognition is. Through a survey of related works, we try to define the criteria and classify skil...

This paper considers the relationship between self-regulation strategies and youth civic and political experiences, assuming that out-of-school learning can foster metacognition. The study is based on a sample of 732 Portuguese students from grades 8 and 11. Results show that the quality of civic and political participation experiences, together with academic self-efficacy, are significant pred...
