This study examines how teaching metacognitive strategies to students in a sixth-grade mathematics class affects their metacognitive awareness. Participants were 36 sixth-grade students in a middle school affiliated with the Ministry of National Education of Turkey in the 2020-2021 academic year. The students in the experimental group (n = 18) were taught a total of 40 mathematics lessons for eight weeks to improve their metacognitive awareness. The students in the control group (n=18) were taught mathematics in line with the regular mathematics curriculum. Using the Jr. Metacognitive Awareness Inventory, participants in both groups took a pre-test at the beginning and a post-test at the end of the study. To better interpret the data obtained, various statistical tests were performed. The pre-test and post-test averages of the groups were compared using the t-test for the normally distributed data for dependent and independent groups. The pre-test results showed no significant difference between the metacognitive awareness scores of the experimental and control groups (p>0.05). The comparison of post-test averages showed that students' metacognitive awareness differed significantly in favor of the experimental group (p<0.05). According to this, it was concluded that metacognitive strategy teaching in mathematics courses positively affected students' metacognitive awareness levels.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate a new method for activating the metacognitive abilities that play a key role in the Mathematical Problem Solving Process (MPSP). The proposed research question is as follows: Can the MPSP activate metacognitive abilities of high school students in the pencil-and-paper environment using guidance material for metacognitive activities\ulcorner To solve this question, two case studies have been carried out. Two students for the study were selected via informal interview. They voluntarily took part in 13 experimental lectures. The activating paths of their metacognitive abilities in the MPSP were chronically described and analyzed. All the activating processes of the students focusing on the aspects of metacognitive behaviors were analyzed by means of interview, observation, self-report, and activity data. The two high school students participating in the MPSP voluntarily recognized and reflected their deficiencies in metacognitive abilities, and therefore maximized their own performance. They made quite significant progress in the course of activating their metacognitive abilities through voluntary participation and gained greater confidence in the MPSP. Hence they have become good problem solvers. They expressed not only the factors influencing their behavior but also their self-awareness during the metacognitive activities. In the long run, this experiment will increase possibilities for the internalization of the metacognitive process.

본 연구는 초등수학영재들이 수학 과제를 해결하는 과정에서 활성화되는 메타인지적 사고의 과정을 분석하여 메타인지적 기능이 문제해결 과정의 성패에 미치는 영향을 조사하고, 이를 통해 메타인지적 사고를 활성화할 수 있는 방안에 대한 시사점을 제안하고자 한다. 수준이 다른 두 집단에서 선택한 7명으로부터 얻은 14가지의 사례를 Wilson & Clarke(2004)의 메타인지 모델을 기반으로 분석한 결과, 초등수학영재들이 주로 사용한 메타인지의 경로에는 ARE, RE, AERE의 3가지가 나타났다. 집단의 수준이 높을수록 ARE 경로를 선호하였는데 이는 문제해결에 성공한 학생들이 보여주는 주된 경로임도 확인하였다. 그리고 과제의 수준에 따라 메타인지 사고 과정이 다르다는 점, 같은 경로로 문제를 해결한 학생들이 동일한 메타인지적 사고를 하여도 메타인지적 사고의 능력에 따라 문제해결의 성패가 달라진다는 점, 메타인지적 지식에 대해 잘 의식하는 학생은 문제해결에 대한 조절과 제어 능력이 높은 면을 보인다는 점 등도 사례를 통해 확인하였다. 이를 바탕으로 초등수학영재들의 메타인지적 사고를 활성화하기 위한 3가지의 시사점을 얻었다.

Metacognition is defined to be 'thinking about thinking' and 'knowing what we know and what we don't know'. It was verified that the metacognitive abilities of high school students can be improved via instruction. The purpose of this article is to investigate a new method for activating the metacognitive abilities that play a key role in the Mathematical Problem Solving Process(MPSP). Hyunsung participated in the MPSP using Visual Basic Programming. He actively participated in the MPSP. There are sufficient evidences about activating the metacognitive abilities via the activity processes and interviews. In solving mathematical problems, he had basic metacognitive abilities in the stage of understanding mathematical problems; through the experiments, he further developed his metacognitive abilities and successfully transferred them to general mathematical problem solving.

This study aims to propose using English reading strategies to enhance Intercultural Communicative Competence (ICC) for EFL learners. The study recruited college-level participants who were enrolled in a general English reading course (N=30) and administrated the surveys with a Repeated Measures Design (RMD). In the survey, an intercultural sensitivity scale and metacognitive reading strategies inventory were conducted for comparison. During the instruction, participants were asked to use the R.I.D.E.R. (i.e. Read, Image, Describe, Evaluate, and Repeat) strategy for visualization of text, which is aimed at facilitating the use of metacognitive reading strategies. In the results, participants showed a statistically significant increase both in the intercultural sensitivity level and the use of metacognitive reading strategies after the practice of R.I.D.E.R for one semester. Further analysis was appended to the results by the correlation and regression analysis, and proposed that participants benefit their development of intercultural sensitivity from the use of metacognitive reading strategies. Therefore, the study suggests that implementing metacognitive reading strategies facilitates college EFL readers to increase their cultural sensitivity, which empowers ICC through English reading (176words).

This research aims to examine the role of writing self-efficacy in engineering students' writing metacognitive strategies and writing apprehension. To achieve this purpose, first, the relationships among writing self-efficacy, writing metacognitive strategies and writing apprehension were investigated. Second, the effects of writing self-efficacy, as perceived by engineering students, on writing metacognitive strategies as well as writing apprehension were explored. A total of 173 engineering students from one university in Korea responded to survey based on a three-variables scale. The findings were that, firstly, positive correlations between writing self-efficacy and writing metacognitive strategies were identified in terms of sub-factors of those two variables. Secondly, negative correlations between writing apprehension and writing self-efficacy, and between writing apprehension and writing metacognitive strategies, were identified in terms of sub-factors of those variables. Thirdly, writing self-efficacy predicted engineering students' writing metacognitive strategies' sub-factors and writing apprehension. The practical implications of these findings are discussed herein, with particular attention on education for promotion of writing self-efficacy and reduction of writing apprehension.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of metacognitive strategy on conceptual acquisition ofvseasonal change and self-efficacy when it was applied to 6th grade elementary students. This study consists of 2 classes, 76 students in the 6th grade of elementary school, which were divided into the experimental group (38) and the control group (38). First, a pre-test was administrated to check students' levels of metacognitive self-regulation and self-efficacy prior to getting planned lessons and then an instruction program was developed based upon the metacognitive instruction model and students' conception. The control group was exposed to traditional methods mainly using the textbook and teacher's guide book. The experimental group employed a metacognitive learning strategy program and activities with metacognitive questionnaires. After the planned lessons, the students were tested with post-tests about the conception of seasonal change and self-efficacy. One month later the students were tested again with another test to determine the continuation effect. The results were as follows: First, the group that used metacognitive conceptual change instruction did better in forming and continuing to maintain the scientific seasonal change conceptions compared to the control group. Second, the high and intermediate group taught by metacognitive conceptual change instruction was higher in the level of self-regulation than the control group. However, it was not verified in the low group. Third, the group which used metacognitive conceptual change instruction showed a higher level of self-efficacy than the control group did.

This study reports on the use of the trait and state cognitive/metacognitive strategy use and the difference of the trait/state strategy use according to students' proficiency level. First of all, for checking up the trait strategy use, 119 first-grade male students in a high school completed the questionnaire on strategies which they thought they used during a reading test. Secondly, to find out their state strategy use, students took a fifteen-item reading comprehension test, followed by filling out questionnaires on cognitive and metacognitive strategies used in the test. This study employed quantitative data analysis. The results suggested that (1) the cognitive and metacognitive strategy use in the trait and state conditions are used the most by the high proficiency group and they are correlated respectively; (2) these strategies are used with statistically significant difference according to students' proficiency level, especially to the lower level students. The highly successful group uses the cognitive and metacognitive strategy in the actual test situation more than the lower proficient group; there is no difference in trait and state strategy use.
