Metacognition as a Reading Strategy in Incoming University Students

“…At present there are many students who have difficulties in comprehension of texts and it is alarming that they have less and less motivation to read (Van Ammel et al, 2021), so it is recommended that teachers include specific instruction on reading strategies within their classes to counteract one of the most worrying problems of today's society such as the low reading ability of students (Kissau & Hiller, 2013), since for many students it is a skill which they struggle to perfect . Although it is always recommended to use reading strategies, sometimes it is necessary to first address the underlying problems of the student's language (Nippold, 2017), since several studies have shown that difficulties in reading comprehension can be associated with what is known as limited vocabulary or lexical poverty (Miranda et al, 2011), without neglecting that one of the main causes of the low level of reading comprehension of students is the ineffectiveness of the strategies employed by educators (Olifant et al,23). The use of reading strategies in students and teachers is also of utmost importance when learning languages, however, in some countries the implementation of these strategies has been a challenge (Sieo et al, 2022), as well as in the case of Malaysia, where many students do not have English proficiency, for this reason they employ reading strategies to develop reading comprehension skills (Halim et al, 2020), In turn, in the United States, reading comprehension problems cause concern, especially in adolescents with learning disabilities (Ko & Hughes, 2015).…”
