This study investigated the effects of perceptional fidelity and advice of a computer simulation program(CSP) on task achievement and metacognition in preschoolers. The child`s task was scientific inquiry into the growth process of frogs. Findings showed that instruction using the CSP resulted in higher task achievement and higher metacognition than conventional instructions. Advice provided by the CSP had no effect on task achievement but both the perceptional fidelity rate and the advice of the CSP were effective in increasing metacognition.
