Profiling pre‐service teachers’ awareness and regulation of their own thinking: evidence from an Asian country

Abstract: This study aims to examine pre-service teachers' knowledge and regulation of cognition. The authors administered Schraw and Dennison's Metacognitive Awareness Inventory to 254 pre-service teachers in Singapore. The results showed no significant difference by educational level on all subscales except for evaluation, which is a subscale of regulation of knowledge. The authors also found no significant mean differences by gender. On the other hand, the results indicate that the mean scores for all subscales were … Show more

“…Planning and debugging strategies are higher and significantly different from other skills. Such finding is not in line with a previous research which examined preservice teachers' knowledge and regulation of their own thinking and revealed no significant difference by education level on all subscales of MAI except for evaluation [28]. It is not surprising that an individual's learning is mainly determined by the plans and targets which have been set.…”

“…Results show that although the participants' metacognition perceptions differed according to gender in the evaluation and organization dimensions, no significant differences were found in the other dimensions. This result which indicated no difference in the planning and total dimensions is parallel with the results found by Lee, Teo and Chai (2010).…”

“…Metacognition is defined as thinking about thinking (Louca, 2003). Review of the related literature (Nielsen, 2004;Yılmaz 2007;Demir, 2009;Lee, Teo & Chai, 2010, Semerci & Elaldı, 2011Özsoy & Günindi, 2011;Pinto, Iliceto, Melogno, 2012;Demir, 2013) indicates that critical thinking and metacognitive processes and skills should be given importance so that meaningful learning can happen and critical reasoning skills can be gained in the dynamic nature of learning (Nielsen, 2004;Yılmaz 2007;Demir, 2009;Lee, Teo & Chai, 2010, Semerci & Elaldı, 2011Özsoy & Günindi, 2011;Pinto, Iliceto, Melogno, 2012;Demir, 2013).…”

“…16-25 years seniority teachers with alternative subscale of cognitive flexibility scale has been found to be higher than teachers with less seniority level. Lee, Teo and Chai (2010) also demonstrated that a significant positive correlation between cognitive skills and seniority of the teachers in their work. In this regard, the experience may be playing a positive role in the development of cognitive flexibility.…”
