Abstract

In the information society metacognitive competencies are essential. Based on some activities from the Enrichment Instrumental Program elab-orated by professor Reuven Feuerstein we have designed a program for developing the students capacities of selfcontrol, selfknowing and intelectual learning strategies. The case study presents the formation of students' metacognitive competences at the "Lucian Blaga"University of Sibiu, "Hermann Oberth"Faculty of Enginereeing, Department of Computers Sciences. A Web based application has been developed in order to enable students to self-evaluate their metacognitive competencies and to acquire self-regulatory abilities. © 2006-2010 by CCC Publications.
