The Effectiveness of Metacognitive Strategies of SQP4R on Decreasing Impulsiveness of Students with Mathematic learning Disability

Abstract

Objective: Aim of This study was to investigate the effects of Metacognitive Strategies of SQP4R on decreasing Impulsiveness in Students with Mathematic learning disability. Method: To accomplish the stated aims, 30 male students with Mathematic learning disability from elementary schools were chosen in the city of Shiraz. The research design of the study was Pretest – Posttest Randomized Group Design. The instruments used in this study included Key Math Mathematical Test (Key Math), and Barrat Impulsiveness Scale (BIS). To analyze the data, multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) has been used. Results: The results showed significant Effectiveness of Metacognitive Strategies of SQP4R in decreasing Impulsiveness (No planning, Motor Impulsiveness, Cognitive Impulsiveness) of experimental group. Conclusion: Metacognitive Strategies of SQP4R is effective on increasing Cognitive Variables (look like Metacognitive Awareness and Reading Comprehension) and decreasing Impulsiveness in Students.
