Metacognitive awareness, which is part of self regulated learning, includes the domains of knowledge of cognition and regulation of cognition.

This longitudinal cohort study uses the Junior Metacognitive Awareness Inventory (Jr. MAI) to measure student metacognitive awareness across Years 7 to 10 in a north Queensland girls’ Catholic college.
