Abstract

The study aimed to identify the level of Meta Cognition thinking and its relationship to dominant patterns of brain dominance among Jordanian university students, and to identify if there were differences in the level of Meta Cognition thinking and brain dominance patterns attributed to variables of gender and college. The study sample consisted male and female students at the academic year 2020/2021, and this sample was taken in a simple random way. Two measures were applied: Meta Cognition thinking, and brain dominance patterns, after confirming their psychometric properties. The results showed that the level of Meta Cognition thinking among Jordanian university students is (high), and that the dominant brain pattern among the study sample is the right pattern, followed by the left and then the integrated, and also there is no statistically significant relationship between the brain dominance patterns and the variables of gender and college, and there is statistically significant differences in Meta Cognition thinking among students with the (left) brain dominance pattern compared to those with the (integrated) brain control pattern and in favor of those with the left brain dominance type.

Highlights

  • Meta Cognition thinking scale: After reviewing the scales related to Meta Cognition thinking that were included in some previous studies, it was relied on Kumar [30], which consists of (52) paragraphs that measure.The validity of the scale was verified by presenting it to (15) faculty members who specialize in educational psychology, measurement and evaluation in Jordanian and Saudi universities

  • Study procedures and statistical treatment: After preparing the study instruments, they began to be applied to the study sample through the Internet, and after collecting the information, it was analyzed by the Statistical Package Program (SPSS) version (20), the study questions were answered through the use of duplicates, percentages, and the Chi-Square test)

  • Question one: The arithmetic means and standard deviations of the estimates of the study sample individuals were calculated for the paragraphs of the Meta Cognition thinking scale as a whole, and each of its fields

Summary

Introduction

Many thinkers in the field of research and study have studied thinking in its various types, and they employed the knowledge that generate from their research in the field of education at various levels and stages of study, in order to create a generation of learners capable to think and adapt to the requirements of the twenty-first century with its various and accelerating variables. Internal language, which is believed to be a pre-requisite for Meta Cognition thinking, begins to appear in children at the age of five, and despite this, Meta Cognition thinking constitutes a major characteristic of systematic thinking [1]
