In the current study we investigate the effects of a metacognitive training on LD students math performance. It’s known as metacognitive training may influence the school math performance, but there is not enough research on the metacognitive training of learning disability students. The participants were 7th grade students from two different inclusion schools who were randomly into one of the three groups. First group received an individual metacognitive training, the second one a metacognitive training combined with the cooperative learning and the third one was the control group.
Metacognitive Ausbildungswirkungen Auf Die Mathematische Leistung Den Lernbehinderte Studenten Aus Inklusiven Klassenzimmern. In der aktuellen Studie untersuchen wir die Auswirkungen einer metakognitiven Ausbildung auf der Mathe Leistung von lernbehinderten Studenten. Es ist bekannt, dass metakognitive Ausbildung die schulische Mathe Leistung beeinflussen kann, aber es gibt nicht genug Forschung über die metakognitive Ausbildung von Lernbehinderten Studenten. Die Teilnehmer waren Schüler der 7. Klasse aus zwei verschiedenen Inklusionsschulen, die zufällig in einer der drei Gruppen waren. Die erste Gruppe erhielt eine individuelle metakognitive Ausbildung, die zweite eine metakognitive Ausbildung, kombiniert mit dem kooperativen Lernen, und die dritte war die Kontrollgruppe.
