Example of an abstractThis study constructed a measure of metacognition that is applicable for grade

school students (fourth grade). The constructed measure is domain-specificon the metacognition of mathematical problem solving. There is a need toconstruct a more direct and domain-specific measure of metacognitionspecifically for grade school pupils because of the difficulty in assessmentprocedures for young children. The test is composed of eight items thatmeasure declarative knowledge, conditional knowledge, proceduralknowledge, prediction, planning, evaluation, and two items on monitoring.The test was administered to 280 grade four students in different publicand private schools in the Philippines.The reliability of the test usingCronbachs Alpha is .78, indicating acceptable internal consistency of theitems. Parallel form of reliability was conducted where it was significantlycorrelated with another measure of metacognitive skills (r=.21, p
