Conclusion

The perceived usefulness of metacognitive strategies was predictive of 15-yearold students’ plausible values in reading, mathematics, and science within the United States, holding everything else constant.  The perceived usefulness of summarizing seemed to make more of a contribution than the perceived usefulness of understanding and remembering.  The effects of the perceived usefulness of metacognitive strategies are not domain specific and high school teachers within the United States can expect significant academic gains in multiple domains simply by honing their students’ metacognitive strategies.
