Exploratory Appraisal of Metacognition and Multiple Intelligence among Adolescents
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Metacognition is defined as one's own awareness of the thought process: specifically it concerns the ability to regulate the cognitive processes of the learners in their learning. Similarly, multiple intelligence covers the capacity to reason, figure and handle logical thinking. Therefore, it must be seen more as the "OUTPUT" function of information intake, learning, skills and ability. Hence, the present study is focused towards studying the level of metacognition and multiple intelligence among adolescents. The investigation was conducted on 200 rural school going adolescents (n=200) studying in grade 9th and 10th, exclusively drawn from selected Government Senior Secondary Schools in the villages of Ludhiana-1 Block. The subjects were randomly selected and equally distributed across both the genders (males=100&females=100). A self-designed socio-personal information sheet was used to collect the background information of the adolescents. Metacognitive Awareness lnventory (Schraw & Dennison, 1994) and Multiple Intelligence Survey (McKenzie, 1999) were used to assess the metacognition and multiple intelligence of the selected subjects. The results of the study revealed that majority of the adolescents had an 'average level' of metacognition as well as multiple intelligence. Further, results unveiled that across various components and sub-components of metacognition as well as types of multiple intelligence gender emerged as a significantly impacting factor where girls showed better mean scores than boys.
