Resumen

 

Objective: The main goal of this study is to determine and compare the metacognitive abilities of undergraduate students in Colombia.

Method: 1204 students from three different universities were involved, one of a public university and distance mode; and the other two private and face-to-face modality. The Metacognitive Awareness Inventory (MAI) validated for authors (2014) was applied. Tukey's HSD test was implemented to establish significant differences between institutions, the T-test was used to determine differences by gender, and Pearsons correlation was used to determine differences by semester.

Results: Students have a high level of metacognitive abilities, with significant differences in favor of those in the distance mode. There are no significant differences by gender, although women have higher averages; nor by semester.

Conclusion: Although students have a good development of their abilities, it is necessary to strengthen especially the evaluation process. The students who are trained through virtual distance methodology showed a greater degree of development of the metacognitive skills than those trained through face-to-face modality. This could be explained by a greater development of autonomy as an indicator of maturity for learning.
