abstract  this paper  aims at investigating the metacognitive knowledge of solving problem among primary school students with high and low school achievement. two other variables of the students’ grade and sex were also accounted for. the participants were 232 boy and girl students from forth and fifth grades which were randomly selected and divided into two groups of high  and low achievers . ...

Contemplative mental practices aim to enable individuals to develop greater awareness of their own cognitive and affective states through repeated examination of first-person experience. Recent cross-sectional studies of long-term meditation practitioners suggest that the subjective reports of such individuals are better calibrated with objective indices; however, the impact of mental training ...

Previous work has demonstrated that interventions like 1) giving in-the-moment performance feedback and 2) providing a strategy rule can improve children’s metacognitive learning. However, there is little evidence to suggest that this learning transfers to a novel task. We trained 5-year-olds’ metacognitive control in a task requiring participants to select the easier of two games to acquire th...

In this study we examined the effectiveness of self-regulated learning (SRL) training in facilitating college students’ science learning with hypermedia. Sixty (N = 60) undergraduate students were randomly assigned to either a training condition or a control condition and used a hypermedia environment to learn about the circulatory system. On Day 1, all participants were administered a pretest ...

This research aimed to probe the effect of two different models of metacognitive strategy instruction on the listening performance of EFL learners in Iran. 83 intermediate EFL learners in four groups, two male and two female groups were the participants. The participants in the first experimental groups – a male and a female group – were undergone a ten-week treatment including the linear strat...

The Self-Regulatory Executive Function model [S-REF; Wells, A., & Matthews, G. (1996). Modelling cognition in emotional disorder: the S-REF model. Behaviour Research and Therapy, 34, 881-888] proposes that metacognitive beliefs, inflexible self-focused attention, and perseverative thinking (rumination and worry) play an important role in maintaining emotional dysfunction. Attention training [AT...

Metacognitive scaffolding in a computer-supported learning environment can influence students' metacognitive activities, metacognitive knowledge and domain knowledge. In this study we analyze how metacognitive activities mediate the relationships between different avatar scaffolds on students' learning. Multivariate, multilevel analysis of the 51,339 conversation turns by 54 elementary school s...

Learning in search can take the form of changes in conceptual knowledge and procedural knowledge at a cognitive level. Searchers may also gain insights into their cognitive process though their metacognitive experiences and thereby acquire metacognitive knowledge which may also influence their search process and outcomes. This paper describes the concepts of metacognition, metacognitive knowled...
