Effect of Critical Thinking, Problem Solving and Meta-Cognitive on Student's Self-Learning

This study aimed to assess effects of training critical thinking, problem solving and meta-cognitive on student's self-learning. Fifty undergraduate student of Islamic Azad university of Khorasgan were selected randomly and then they divided randomly into experimental and control groups. Test group were trained about critical thinking, problem solving and meta-cognitive in 6 sessions. Fischer et al' scale (2001) was used as an instrument for measuring self-learning before and after training. Data analysis was done using analysis of covariance. Research findings indicated a significant impact of teaching critical thinking, problem solving and meta-cognitive on the total scores of self-learning and its components (self-management, willingness for learning, and self control). According to the data analysis, teaching critical thinking, problem solving and meta-cognitive will increase total score of self-learning and its components (self-management, willingness for learning, and self control).
