4th and 5th students’ achievement and their metacognitive skills. When students’ success in science increased
their metacognitive skills were improved. The results of MANOVA for 6th through 8th grades showed parallel
fi ndings with 4th and 5th grade students related to achievement and metacognitive skills that when students’
success in science increased their metacognitive skills were also improved.
