Development of "metacognition scale" for college students

Traditional Curriculum focused only on the development of cultures and customs. Modern Curriculum helps to develop the talent or skill of the children through education. The process of reflecting on one's own performance, learning, and thought processes is known as metacognition. It incorporates planning, keeping track of, and assessing one's comprehension and performance of a task. Metacognition is the process by which learners plan their learning, track their progress toward a learning objective, and then assess the results using their knowledge about the work at hand, learning strategies, and themselves. Metacognition is frequently seen to have four components: Metacognitive Knowledge, Metacognitive Skills, Metacognitive Regulation, and Metacognitive Experiences. The Metacognition Scale (MS) has been constructed and standardized by the investigator in the present study for College Students. The Metacognition Scale consists of 45 statements. The simple random sampling technique was used for the current investigation. The sample consists of 100 College students randomly selected for the pilot study from Chengalpattu and Chennai District. The Cronbach’s Alpha technique was used to regulate the tool and finally, out of 45 statements in MS - 38 statements were retained in the final study.
