Effects of the Metacognitive Strategy Program on the Attention Process for Elementary Students

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The attention process is a vital stage of the learning process, and metacognitive monitoring and control are essential requirements for the use of other learning strategies. This study showed the effectiveness and the acceptability of the Metacognitive Strategy Program on Attention Process which is designed for elementary students. The Metacognitive Strategy Program on Attention Process consists of three sessions, and is focused on the monitoring of and control over the attention process. It took three weeks to run all three sessions (one session a week). 77 students were assigned to an experimental group, and 33 students to a non-experimental group. Assessment of Learning Strategies for Adolescents (ALSA) was used for pre- and post-tests. Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used to even up the pre-test scores, and the two groups were compared in terms of their post-test scores. The post-test score of the experimental group was higher than that of the non-experimental group, and the difference was significant (F=4.54, p<.05). This result suggests that the Metacognitive Strategy Program on Attention Process has a positive effect on students’ use of cognitive and metacognitive strategies.
