Metacognitive Strategies in Digital Environments for Students with Poor Reading Comprehension

Abstract

This research attempts to determine the impact of metacognitive strategies in digital environments among 85 students, aged 10 to 13 years, who obtained poor reading comprehension scores in the 2018 PISA tests. A control group (52 participants) and experimental group (53 participants) were formed, and for one academic semester, only the experimental group worked on metacognitive strategies in digital environments (based on the reading awareness scale ESCOLA). The results showed significant differences between the two groups, in favor of the experimental group, indicating that metacognitive strategies in digital environments significantly improve reading comprehension
