We know that metacognitive students are successful in school (Sternberg Instructional Science 26:127–140, 1998). However, despite the recognition of the role of metacognition in student success, limited research has been done to explore teachers’ explicit awareness of their metacognition and their ability to think about, talk about, and write about their thinking (Zohar Teaching and Teacher Edu...

objective: the present study aims to investigate thought control strategies in generalized anxiety disorder (gad), major depressive disorder (mdd), and the relationship of these metacognitive strategies with trait anxiety, as a construct of emotional vulnerability. methods: 60 patients with diagnosis of gad and mdd and 30 control subjects (nonpatients) were selected from the university students...

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 study investigated the development of group metacognition by three small groups of middle-grade primary school students engaged in the collaborative construction of computer-based mathematical models. The three groups of students were part of a cohort of 30 Grade 4-5 students engaged in the construction of mathematical models within the context of a computer-supported collaborative learnin...

Software agents “living” and acting in a real world software environment, such as an operating system, a network, or a database system, can carry out many tasks for humans. Metacognition is very important for humans. It guides people to select, evaluate, revise, and abandon cognitive tasks, goals, and strategies. Thus, metacognition plays an important role in human-like software agents. Metacog...

Integration of metacognition strategies can increase the students’ knowledge about their own learning and empower them to self-regulate their learning process. To evaluate the students’ metacognitive abilities and how it contributes to their learning process as well as overall academic performance, a study was conducted in an introductory first-year, engineering classroom. Due to limited intera...

This study investigated the quality of metacognition at its inter-individual level, i.e., socially-shared metacognition, across two collaborative writing tasks of different difficulty levels among a cohort of Iranian EFL learners.  Moreover, it examined the correlation between the individual and the social modes of metacognition in writing.  The analysis of think-aloud protocols of a number of ...

The purpose of this research was to develop and test a model of effective selfregulated learning. Based on effort expenditure we discerned effective self-regulators and less effective self-regulators. The model comprised achievement goals (mastery, performance-approach and -avoidance goals), metacognition (metacognitive knowledge, regulation and experience), study strategies (metacognitive, dee...
