The Effectiveness of Meta cognitive skills training in improving problem solving behavior among university students

Abstract

The present study aimed at identifying the effectiveness of Meta cognitive skills training in improving problem solving behavior among university students. The sample of the study consisted of (40) students (male & female) selected from the Faculty of Medical Laboratories, Faculty of Education and Faculty of Commercial Studies at Sudan University of Science and Technology. The sample of the study was randomly divided into experimental and controlled group of (20) students (male & female) in each one. The researcher then prepared the problem solving behavior measurement and designed his own Meta cognitive skill program. The study outcomes have shown that There was statistically significant differences in the means of problem solving behavior measure between the experimental and the controlled group in favor of the experimental group, with a high size effect. There was no statistically significant differences between the means of pre and continued problem solving behavior measure.
