Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationships between metacognition and Self-regulation. The sample of study consists of 422 primary education students who were enrolled in different programs at Sakarya, in Turkey. In this study, Metacognitive Learning Inventory-Science and Perceived Self-regulation Scale were used. The hypothesis model was tested through structural equation modeling. According to results metacognition was predicted positively by self regulation. Results were discussed in the light of literature.
