Academic Achievement among Senior Secondary School Students in the Context of Problem Solving Ability & Meta Cognition

Abstract “The current study investigated the academic achievement of sr. sec. school students in the context of problem solving ability & meta-cognition. In this investigation, academic achievement was taken as dependent variable and problem solving ability & meta-cognition were taken as independent variables. The current study was descriptive in nature. A sample of 600 sr. sec. school students were chosen by multi-stage random sampling technique. Meta-cognition Scale (2017) by Singh & Bali & Problem Solving ability Test (2011) by Dubey were applied to gather the data. Mean, SD, t-test & ANOVA were employed to analyze the data. Significant difference was seen in academic achievement of sr. sec. school students on the basis of problem solving ability. Significant difference was also observed in academic achievement of sr. sec. school students on the basis of meta-cognition. Further, significant interaction effect of problem solving ability and meta-cognition was found on academic achievement of sr. sec. school students”
