The effect of metacognitive strategy training on student mathematical problem solving process and contemplative thinking skills in primary school children with learning disabilities

Abstract EN

The Purpose of this study was to explore the effect of a metacognitive strategy training on mathematical problem solving process and contemplative thinking skills of primary school children with learning disabilities.

The participants in this study were Forty grade five students identified with LD.

A pre- post design was used to examine the effectiveness of the metacognitive instructional approach of Strategies Program for Effective Learning and Thinking (SPELT) on mathematical problem solving process and contemplative thinking skills of the target children .

Findings from this study indicated the effectiveness of the metacognitive instructional approach of Strategies Program for Effective Learning and Thinking (SPELT) on mathematical problem solving process and contemplative thinking skills of the target children.

On the basis of the findings, the study advocated for the effectiveness of metacognitive instructional approach of Strategies Program for Effective Learning and Thinking (SPELT) on mathematical problem solving process and contemplative thinking skills of the target children.
