It
is important for children to have some skills and competencies in the
acquisition of effective learning skills. Metacognition skills that allow
children to become aware of what they know and think to learn a knowledge, and
build on the knowledge they will learn in this process; they need to be
self-efficacy in order to accomplish a task and to be able to come up with new
problems or situations. In this context, the research aimed to determine
whether self-efficacy in children predicts metacognition skills, and also the
results of the relationship between self-efficacy and metacognition and the
validity and reliability of the measurement tools used are included in the
study. In the research, the correlational
survey model, which is one of the quantitative research method, is used
to determine the relationship between two or more variables. The study group of this study consists
of 350 children aged between 12 and 14 years, continuing to secondary school.
The Personal Information Form, "Self-Efficacy Scale for Children" and
"Scale of Metacognition Skills for Children" were used together to
collect the data of the study. The cronbach alpha coefficient and confirmatory
factor analysis results on the validity and reliability of the measurement
tools provided valid and reliable results. To investigate the relationship
between self-efficacy and metacognition skills, the Pearson Moments
Multiplication Correlation Coefficient is calculated and indicates that there
is a relationship between the two variables. It has been determined that
self-efficacy is a predictor of metacognition skills according to the results
of multiple regression to examine whether self-efficacy beliefs in children are
predictive of metacognition skills. Çocuklardaki özyeterlik becerilerinin üst
biliş becerilerinin yordayıcısı olup olmadığını belirlemek için
gerçekleştirilen çoklu regresyon sonuçlarına göre özyeterlik becerileri
üstbilişin bir yordayıcısı olduğu bulgularına ulaşılmıştır. The development of
metacognition and self-efficacy skills together in children is one of the
issues to be emphasized by parents and educators.
