Abstract

This study aimed at identifying the metacognitive skill level of a sample of talented students in Jordan, and whether the level is affected by the difference of a number of variables. The sample consisted of (256) male and female students who were chosen by the random stratified method. Out of them were (101) male and female students from the Jubilee School, and (155) from King Abdullah II School for Excellence, during the academic year 2018-2019. To achieve the study objective, the metacognitive thinking scale was applied after verifying its validity and reliability. The results showed that the total degree of the metacognitive skill level of a sample of talented students in Jordan was high. The results did not show statistically significant differences in the metacognitive skill level attributable to the gender variable. Meanwhile, there were statistically significant differences at (α≤0.05) level attributed to the grade level variable.
