Investigating the role of metacognitive strategies in biology learning.

Thesis Abstract

This research project aims to investigate the role of metacognitive strategies in biology learning. Metacognition refers to the awareness and regulation of one's own thinking processes, and it plays a crucial role in effective learning and problem-solving. This study will explore how metacognitive strategies, such as self-reflection, goal-setting, and monitoring, can enhance student understanding and performance in biology. Through a mixed-methods approach involving surveys, interviews, and classroom observations, the research will examine the use of metacognitive strategies by students and their impact on learning outcomes. The findings of this study will provide valuable insights into the importance of metacognition in biology education and inform instructional practices that promote metacognitive development.
