Metacgognition is important to the development of higher-order thinking and problem solving, both
desired in the current educational practices.
The outputs of this research are
the estimates of the effect sizes of metacognitive variable on learning outcomes
in computer based instruction, especially under the hypermedia learning
environment. Besides this purpose, the author pointed out the weaknesses in the
extant research and recommend methodological improvements.
The five out of 6
studies reported a positive effect size. Therefore, we are positive that
metacognitive interventions can help students learn better in hypermedia based
learning environents. Also, roughly speaking the magnitude of effct size in ill
structured domains such as social studies is greater than well structured
domain.
It seems that the magnitude of effect size in declarative knowledge is
greater than in problem solving domain. However, since there was just one study
dealing with declarative knowledge, this conclusion is dubious and thus the
further study needed.
