“…It is a construct that has been linked to effective learning and higher academic achievement presumably because it enables students to evaluate and effectively control their own learning. 4 Metacognition encircle knowledge of learning strategies and the capacity to utilize this information in a productive and viable way and thinking. Metacognition has two main components, first is metacognition awareness in which a person is aware of own cognition process and second is his metacognition regulation.…”

Introduction: To determine medical students' metacognitive awareness and its impact on their academic performance. Study design: Cross-sectional analytic study. Place and Duration of Study: Two different private medical College's from Lahore. From March 2016 to September 2016. Material and Methods: Study was done among second year students of two private medical colleges in Lahore. Students' first year academic achievement information was collected and they also filled the semi-structured questionnaire on metacognition regulation by the metacognitive awareness of reading strategies inventory (MARSI) based on three dimensions of metacognition (GLOB, SUB and PROB). Simple random sampling, a type of probability sampling was used for this study. The data were entered in SPSS 20, Metacognitive score was taken as an independent variable while academic performance (first professional part 1 results) was the dependent variable. For descriptive data, mean and standard deviation were used. For categorical data, percentage and frequencies were used. Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated to examine the item-total score correlation Result: A total 232 students participated. The reliability coefficient of MARSI was 0.88 and there was strong correlation among all dimensions of Metacognition score and academic achievement with Correlation coefficient value was 0.257 (p<0.01). Medical students of different colleges have almost equal (college 1 std. deviation 109±15.3, college 2 std. deviation 110.6±17.3) Metacognition levels. Conclusion: All dimensions of metacognition are positive and strongly correlated with each other's. Higher the score in one dimension will cause positive change in other dimension score and vice versa. Overall it would be beneficial for the trainers and other mentors that to work on one dimension and it would also cause positive impact on other skills and strategies.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: Students reading strategies strongly influence their academic performance. Our study aimed to determine medical students' metacognitive awareness during reading strategies and its relation with their academic scores. METHODOLOGY: Study was done among third year MBBS students of Aziz Fatima Medical College Faisalabad. Students previous years academic achievement information was collected and they also filled questionnaire on metacognition regulation by the Metacognitive Awareness Reading Strategies Inventory. Convenient sampling was used for this study. The data were analyzed in SPSS 20. In our study the independent variable was metacognitive score while previous professional examination marks were taken as the dependent variable.Standard deviation and mean were used for the descriptive data. For categorical data, percentage and frequencies were used. RESULTS: Different reading strategies employed by medical students in relation to metacognition were our main focus in the study. Metacognition was taken as score measured by a 30 item MARSI scale and their academic performance measured in terms of total marks obtained in the last professional examination held by the University. Total 101 out of 110 students from 3rd year MBBS class were enrolled in the study and the response rate was 92%. Forty one (41) respondents were females and sixty (60) respondents were male the mean± SD age of students was 21.05±0.74. CONCLUSION: All dimensions of metacognition are positive and strongly correlated with each other’s. Higher the score in one dimension will cause positive change in other dimension score and vice versa.

Metacognition and literacy skills are important in the 2013 curriculum because both things belong to 21st century expertises. The purpose of this study is to determine the metacognition and scientific literacy skills of the students in SMK Andalusia 1 Wonosobo in the 2018/2019 teaching year. This study uses a quantitative method with a descriptive approach. The results of the research show that students' metacognition abilities are still relatively low, especially in monitoring and evaluation indicators. Meanwhile, the scientific literacy skills shows that the average achievement reaches up to 89% in knowledge aspect. The results of these studies indicate that the results between metacognition skills are different from the scientific literacy ones. These results can also be used as a reference for developing better competencies by improving or creating innovations in the classroom learnings.
