Abstract: Metacognition is critical to self-regulated learning, but can a domain-general intervention improve college students’ course performance? We compared an intervention teaching metacognitive knowledge and skills against one in which students read feature news articles related to course content. Students in the metacognitive condition performed worse on the final exam than students in the reading condition when controlling for prior metacognitive awareness. We discuss future directions for understanding how metacognitive interventions impact students’ learning.
