Training metacognitive and problem-solving strategies in children aged 5 to 7 years

It examines whether the metacognitive training improves the resolution of problems in children aged 5 to 7 years of compensatory education. The results indicate significant differences between the experimental group (13 children) and the control group (12 children) in self-regulation strategies (type of reasoning) (p <= .001) and self-assessment strategies (p <= .01). Furthermore, the experimental group intragroup analysis detected significant differences in type of reasoning (p <= .01). Experimental evidence indicates that metacognitive training programs appear effective, at an early age to help develop self-regulation strategies and self.
