Abstract

Metacognition plays a crucial role in effective learning, but its measurement and assessment present various challenges. The goal of this study was to investigate the relationship between online and offline measures of metacognition, and their relationship to actual performance on a reading comprehension task. Our sample consisted of 177 university students, and we used an observational study design. Results showed no significant correlation between online (measured by monitoring judgments) and offline (self-reports) measures of metacognition, even when offline measure was represented by a domain-specific Metacomprehension Inventory and its subscales were separately correlated with monitoring judgments. Notably, online measures were strongly related to actual task performance (JOLs, r =0.48; CJs, r = 0.75), while no significant relationship was found between offline measures and performance. This study highlights the importance of using appropriate measures when assessing learners’ metacognitive skills.
