Meta-memory skills and their relationship to self-efficacy among kindergarten students

Abstract

Abstract:

The current research aims:

1- Identify the level of meta-memory skills for kindergarten students

2- Identify the level of self-efficacy skills for kindergarten students

3- Identify the level of between level  meta-memory skills and self-efficacy among kindergarten students but the level of the relationship weak

4- Identify the level of between Contribution meta-memory skills contribute to self-efficacy but the level of Contribution weak.

The research sample include (140) female students from the College of Basic Education, Kindergarten Department, Baghdad Governorate for the academic year (2020-2021). To achieve the objectives of the research, the researcher adopted the Meta-Memory Scale for Troyer & Rich 2002, and the Self-Efficacy Scale for Yousif 2016. After validity and reliability was extracted, the researcher the following results:-

1- There are statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the sample and the hypothetical mean of the scale, and this difference is in favor of the mean scores of the sample, which indicates that the kindergarten students are distinguished by meta-memory skills.

2- There are statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the sample and the hypothetical mean of the scale, and this difference is in favor of the mean scores of the sample, which indicates that the kindergarten students are characterized by self-efficacy.

3- There is a relationship between meta-memory skills and self-efficacy among kindergarten students, but the level of the relationship is weak.

4- There is a weak relationship between the two variables and that meta-memory skills contribute weakly to self-efficacy.
