Comparison of Mathematics and Humanitarian Sciences Students' Metacognitive Strategies

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to compare the differences of using meta-cognitive strategies in high school students who study  in  the  fields  of  mathematics  and  humanities.  For  do  this,  140  high  school  students  were  selected  randomly.  The Swanson’s Meta-cognition  Strategies  Test  was  administrated  for  sample  groups.  The  acquired  means  for  two  regroups were  compared  with  t-test for two independent groups’ method. Results indicated  that  two  groups  were  meaningfully differed from each other (sig=0.01) in using  meta-cognitive strategies, and  mean of students in  mathematics  field  were high.  Also  there  was  a  meaningful  difference  in  task  component  between  two  groups  (sig=0.002),  and  the  mean  of students  in  mathematics  field  was  higher  than  from  students  in  humanities  field  in  this  component.  The  high  school students  in  mathematics  field  use  more  metacognitive  strategies,  especially  task  component,  than  the  students  in humanities field.
