The prediction level of metacognitive awareness of reading strategies on problem posing skill

Abstract

The aim of the study was analyzing the predictive relations between reading strategies metacognitive awareness and problem posing skills of seventh grade students. Within the study, 373 seventh grade students participated. The data of the study was collected using “Metacognitive Awareness of Reading Strategies Inventory” and “Problem Posing Skills Test”. Through the analysis of the data, simple linear regression analysis was used. As a result of the study, it was determined that reading strategies metacognitive awareness levels of seventh grade students significantly predicted problem posing skills and explained 42% of the change in problem posing skills. In line with these results; it is recommended that teachers plan and implement interdisciplinary problem posing activities that include the use of different reading and problem posing strategies for the development of reading comprehension and cognitive awareness.
