The present study aimed at investigating Turkish high school students' metacognition and its relation to achievement goals (mastery approach goals, mastery avoidance goals, performance approach goals, performance avoidance goals), perceived competence, and perceived classroom environment (challenge and threat). Metacognition was examined in terms of knowledge of cognition (declarative knowledge, procedural knowledge, and conditional knowledge) and regulation of cognition (planning, information management, monitoring, debugging, and evaluating). Self-report instruments were administered to 141 high school students with a mean age of 15.29 to assess variables of the study. Results reveal that Turkish high school students have more declarative and conditional knowledge than procedural knowledge and mostly use debugging strategies. All motivational variables except threat were found to be positively linked to students' metacognition. The students also appear to adopt approach goals more than avoidance goals. Results were interpreted taking the Turkish educational system into consideration.

Students' achievement goals in relation to academic motivation, competence expectancy, and classroom environment perceptions Sungur, Semra; Senler, Burcu (2010-01-01) The present study aimed at investigating elementary students' academic motivation (intrinsic motivation, external regulation, introjected regulation, identified regulation, and amotivation), achievement goals (mastery approach goals, mastery avoidance goals, performance approach goals, performance avoidance goals), competence expectancies, and classroom environment perceptions in terms of challenge and threat. Self-report instruments were administered to 482 elementary students to assess variables of the st...
The Contribution of Motivational Beliefs to Students' Metacognitive Strategy Use Kahraman, Nurcan; Sungur, Semra (2011-04-01) This study aimed at investigating how well elementary students' self-efficacy and achievement goals (mastery approach, mastery avoidance, performance approach, and performance avoidance goals) predict their metacognitive strategy use in science. For the specified purpose, Achievement Goal Questionnaire and Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire were administered to 115 elementary school students. Results showed that the elementary students who feel self-efficacious in science and study for the reas...
Developing a Structural Model on the Relationship among Motivational Beliefs, Self-Regulated Learning Strategies, and Achievement in Mathematics FADLELMULA, Fatma Kayan; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç; Sungur, Semra (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2015-12-01) This study examines the interrelationships among students' motivational beliefs (i.e. achievement goal orientations, perception of classroom goal structure, and self-efficacy), use of self-regulated learning strategies (i.e. elaboration, organization, and metacognitive self-regulation strategies), and achievement in mathematics, by proposing and testing a structural model. Participants were 1,019 seventh grade students, enrolled in public elementary schools in Ankara, Turkey. Self-report questionnaires and ...
The role of perceived classroom goal structures, self-efficacy, and the student engagement in seventh grade students' science achievement Hıdıroğlu, Fatma Melike; Sungur, Semra; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2014) The aim of this study was to explore how students’ perceptions of classroom goal structures in terms of motivating tasks, autonomy support, and mastery evaluation; their engagement (i.e. behavioral, emotional, cognitive and agentic engagement), and self-efficacy in science are related to their science achievement. For this purpose, a path model was proposed and tested. In the model, it was hypothesized that perceptions of classroom goal structures are related to all aspect of student engagement and self-eff...
