Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: The purpose of the study is to establish the relationships among metacognition, online learning performance, and mathematics achievement. More particularly, it aims to determine the effects of metacognitive knowledge and metacognitive regulation on mathematics achievement and the mediating role of online learning performance on these effects. The study employs linear regression and the Sobel test for its mediation analysis using the data gathered from 311 students who answered the survey questionnaire. Results showed that most students have high levels of metacognitive knowledge and metacognitive regulation, with satisfactory online learning performance, and attain mathematical proficiency. Both metacognitive knowledge and metacognitive regulation have significant positive effects on mathematics achievement and on online learning performance. However, online learning performance does not significantly mediate the effect of each of the metacognitive knowledge and metacognitive regulation on mathematics achievement. Therefore, mathematics educators and institutions should exert efforts and develop strategies to enhance the students’ metacognition for better mathematics achievement and online learning performance. They may also either enhance their online learning platforms or revert to traditional classroom learning settings for mathematics courses, but further studies on this matter are suggested before deciding.
