The main purpose of this study is to find out the perceived metacognition level of university students and to identify whether metacognition levels display significant differences in terms of various variables The study was designed in the relational sampling model and the participants were 1745 students enrolling Faculty of Veterinary Science Faculty of Science and Letters and Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences at Kafkas University After the elimination of missing and invalid data the number of students participating in the study was 1083 The data were collected through “Metacognition 30” scale and “Personal Information Form” aiming at identifying the participants’ socio demographic characteristics Results obtained from the metacognition scale showed that university students got the highest scores in the cognitive awareness sub dimension Findings also showed that there were significant differences in favour of female students in terms of the dimensions of total metacognition cognitive confidence and need to control thinking As to the faculties they enroll students in the Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences displayed a significant difference in the dimension of cognitive awareness Analysis regarding the grade level indicates that average mean scores of the fifth graders were lower than other grades in the dimensions of uncontrollableness and danger Key words: Metacognition university students thinking

Üniversite Öğrencilerinin Üst Biliş Düzeylerinin Çeşitli Değişkenler Açısından incelenmesi
Bu araştırmanın temel amacı üniversite öğrencilerinin algıladıkları üst biliş düzeylerini belirlemek ve üst biliş düzeylerinin çeşitli değişkenler açısından anlamlı bir farklılık gösterip göstermediğini ortaya koymaktır İlişkisel tarama modelinde yürütülmüş bu araştırmanın örneklemini Kafkas Üniversitesi Eğitim Veteriner Fen Edebiyat ve İktisadi ve İdari Bilimler Fakültelerine devam eden toplam 1745 öğrenci oluşturmuştur Kayıp veriler elendikten sonra araştırmanın örneklemi toplam 1083 öğrenciden oluşmuştur Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak sosyo demografik özelliklerin belirlenmesi amacıyla “Kişisel Bilgi Formu” ve “Üst Biliş 30 Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır Araştırmanın sonucunda üniversite öğrencilerinin üst biliş ölçeğinde en yüksek puanı bilişsel farkındalık alt boyutunda aldıkları görülmüştür Yine elde edilen bulgulara göre öğrencilerin cinsiyetlerine göre üst biliş toplam bilişsel güven ve düşünce kontrol ihtiyacı boyutlarında kız öğrenciler lehine; öğrenim gördükleri fakültelere göre ise bilişsel farkındalık boyutunda İktisadi İdari Bilimler fakültesi lehine anlamlı bir farklılık olduğu görülmüştür Sınıf düzeylerine göre incelendiğinde ise üst biliş ölçeğinin kontrol edilemezlik ve tehlike boyutunda beşinci sınıf ortalamasının dördüncü birinci ikinci ve üçüncü sınıf öğrencilerine göre daha düşük olduğu görülmüştür Anahtar kelimeler: Üst biliş üniversite öğrencileri düşünme An Investigation Of University Students’ Metacognition Levels In Terms Of Various Variables
