Abstract :

The vision of educators is to have excellent academic performance from their trainees. Metacognitive regulation is one of the key parameters which have a positive impact on the academic success. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role played by the components of metacognitive regulation on academic outcome in medical student. This cross– sectional study was done in a medical college in south India. Metacognitive awareness inventory, a validated tool was administered to the I year medical students. Their overall academic performance in the first year was also determined. Results were analyzed using ANOVA and Spearman�s correlation tests. Most of our students have average metacognitive regulation and components like planning, comprehension monitoring and evaluation play a significant role in determining academic success. Implementation of metacognitive regulation strategies in day to day learning will be beneficial and make the students self efficacious learners.
