Abstract EN

The study aimed to identify the extent to which the learning difficulty students possess metacognition skills in comparison to the normal students in Dammam city.

In this study the researcher adopted “the comparative descriptive approach;” and applied the study on a sample of sixth grade students in Dammam city during the second semester of the academic year 39-1440H.

And to accomplish/reach the aim of the study the researcher developed a metacognition skills scale and calculated its psychometric characteristics.

After statistically analyzing the data, the study results indicate that both samples; learning difficulty students and normal students; possess intermediate metacognition skills (planning, self-monitoring and evaluation.) However after comparing between them, the results shows that there are differences at the level (0.01) in favor of the normal students.

Finally, the study came out with a group of recommendations including:  Raising the awareness of metacognition skills in those who work with the learning difficulty students.

 Confirming the importance of metacognition skills to the learning difficulty students by training them.

 Conducting studies about developing metacognition skills in both the normal and the learning difficulty students
