Keywords:
Metacognition instruction, self efficacy, learning disabledAbstract
This study investigated the effect of using metacognition instruction on self efficacy of primary five students with learning disabilities. 60 students identified with LD participated .The sample was randomly divided into two groups; experimental (n= 30 boys) and control (n= 30 boys). T -test was employed for data analysis. Findings from this study indicated the effectiveness of metacognition instruction on self-efficacy of the target students. On the basis of the findings, the study advocated for the effectiveness of using metacognition instruction on self-efficacy of learning disabled students.Downloads
