An Investigation of Preservice Science and Chemistry Teachers’ Metacognitive Learning Strategies

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of preservice teachers’ domains on metacognitive learning strategies and to investigate the predictive role of motivational beliefs on their metacognitive learning strategies. This study was conducted with correlational design. The study group was comprised of preservice science and chemistry teachers. The Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) was used as data collection tool. According to independent samples t-test results, preservice teachers’ domains did not have any significant effect on their metacognitive learning strategies. Also, the results revealed that control of learning beliefs, self-efficacy for learning and performance, task value and learning goals of preservice science teachers and self-efficacy for learning and performance, learning goals and task value of preservice chemistry teachers made a statistically significant contribution to the prediction of metacognitive self-regulation.
