An Investigation of Pre-service Primary School Mathematics, Science and Classroom Teachers’ Metacognitive Awareness in terms of Knowledge of and Regulation of Cognition

Abstract

The aim of this research is to determine metacognitive awareness of students majoring in primary school mathematics, science, and classroom teaching programs at universities, explore problems pertaining to metacognitive awareness of those, and to make suggestions for solving those in order to develop their metacognitive awareness. Data were collected through the Metacognitive Awareness Inventory from 374 students, majoring in primary school mathematics, science and classroom teacher education programs. As a result of data analysis, it has been seen that metacognitive awareness levels of the majority are high but their awareness levels need to be highered to have very high levels of metacognitive awareness. When looking at average points related to subscales, it has been understood that students’ knowledge of operational knowledge need to be developed, and planning, monitoring and evaluation subscale points need to be highered
