Metacognition is related to academic monitoring or supervision, learning strategies, and critical thinking with metacognitive awareness and cognitive regulation (Staley & Sperling, Howard, 2004).
Similarly, the relationship between metacognition with self-regulation and self-efficacy is positive, and awareness of cognitive and metacognitive strategies leads to improved learning and academic performance (Arsall, 2010; Steve & Bradford, 2008; Tok et al.
