introduction: learning and studying are considered among the most basic processes of every educational system. one of the most essential factor in determining learning behaviours, is metacognitive awareness and perception. this study was performed to determine the relationship between students’ metacognitive awareness of reading strategies and their academic status. methods: in a descriptive co...

abstractthis study aims to highlight the key roles played by metacognitive strategies training in the development of listening comprehension skill and self-regulation strategies of efl learners. the participants of this study (n = 60) were female iranian students assigned to two groups of experimental and control in kish english language institute. learners in the experimental group received 6-...

750-1000 words) Based on the assumption that learning is a generative process involving human cognitive, metacognitive and motivational processes (Wittrock, 1990), the focus of learning is not only on the final outcome (i.e. performance outcome) but also the process of learning (Mayer, 1999). The interactive nature of computer-based learning environments impose challenges to learners by leaving...

BACKGROUND Subjective cognitive impairments are frequent, but poorly understood in patients with chronic fatigue. We hypothesized that maladaptive metacognitive beliefs at baseline were associated with baseline subjective cognitive impairments, that they predict subjective cognitive impairments at treatment termination, and that a reduction in maladaptive metacognitive beliefs was associated wi...

aim and background:  major depressive disorder (mdd) has physically and psychological effect on individuals with that disorder. one of the effective areas is emotion expression styles and metacognitive beliefs that has important role in interpersonal and between individual relationships. the purpose of this research was study of emotion expression styles and metacognitive beliefs in individuals...

While episodic memory declines with age, metacognitive monitoring is spared. The current study explored whether older adults can use their preserved metacognitive knowledge to make source guesses in the absence of source memory. Through repetition, words from two sources (italic vs. bold text type) differed in memorability. There were no age differences in monitoring this difference despite an ...

This was a descriptive study investigating the potential positive effect of metacognitive ability on learning achievement and skill performance. The participants’ average metacognitive ability score was 3.40, with 24 participants having high ability (29.6%), 25 moderate ability (30.9%), and 32 low ability (39.5%). At posttest, no significant differences in learning achievement by metacognitive ...

This paper presents the core ideas of my doctoral research project. The purposes of my research are (1) to investigate better means to make students learn important metacognitive skills (such as planning and self−monitoring) during problem solving activities when using a computer based learning environments; (2) to design and develop a learning system that can act as a assistant that helps stud...

Metacognition research has focused on the degree to which nonhuman primates share humans' capacity to monitor their cognitive processes. Convincing evidence now exists that monkeys can engage in metacognitive monitoring. By contrast, few studies have explored metacognitive control in monkeys, and the available evidence of metacognitive control supports multiple explanations. The current study a...

Recently, how to support development of a learner’s metacognitive skill is one of the most important topics in the research area of educational support systems. However, it is difficult for the researchers in the area to share research findings and reuse them each other, because there is a lack of common vocabulary to represent metacognitive phenomena and shared understandings of them. It cause...
