The Role of Metacognition in Enhancing Academic Success among University

Abstract

Metacognition plays a crucial role in the learning process by enabling students to understand, control, and evaluate their own cognitive activities. In higher education, where independent learning is essential, metacognitive skills significantly influence students’ academic success. This article explores the concept of metacognition, its main components, and its impact on university students’ academic achievement. The study emphasizes the importance of metacognitive strategies such as planning, monitoring, and self-evaluation in improving learning outcomes. The findings suggest that developing metacognitive awareness among students can enhance academic performance, critical thinking, and lifelong learning skills
