Keywords:
Metacognitive abilities, Post graduate Students, Under graduate StudentsAbstract
This paper intends to compare the metacognitive abilities of post graduate and under graduate students. A sample of 17o students (86 post graduate and 84 under graduate) was selected through stratified random sampling technique from the Hyderabad City of Telangana State, India. For the sake of data collection, Meta Cognition Inventory (MCI) developed by Punita Govil was used. The mean, SD and t- test was employed to analyze the data. The result revealed that there is a significant difference between the metacognitive abilities of post graduate and under graduate students. Also, there is significant difference between the metacognitive abilities of post graduate and under graduate male students. However, there is no significant difference between the metacognitive abilities of post graduate and under graduate female students. Also, there is no significant difference between the metacognitive abilities of post graduate male and female students. It was found there is significant difference between the metacognitive abilities of under graduate male and female student.
