For this purpose, an intervention programme based on meta-cognitive strategies of about 35 hours was developed for students of standard eighth spreading over eight weeks. The aim of the research was to ascertain whether meta-cognitive strategies-based instruction facilitates the academic achievement of students, and if so, for which level of socio-economics status of students. Structured tools were used in study. The participants of the study included 62 and 60 students in the experimental and control groups respectively. |
