In addition,Williamson recommends that teachers provide students with questions in the form of brief essaysto determine their understanding of the topic.Noorbehbahani et al.

One of these strategies is using cheat-resistant technology, such as browsertab locks or wireless jammers. They also recommend a strategy called think-aloud request, inwhich

Quantitative data were collected using two self-report surveys: Brief Regulation of Motivation Scale (BRoMS), and the Physics MetacognitiveInventory (PMI). Although PMI was initially designed for Physics, it can be used to assessstudents’ metacognition for problem solving in other knowledge domains by simply revising theword “physics” to another domain knowledge. Both descriptive and inferential statistics wereconducted to analyze the collected quantitative data.During data analysis we found: (1) a significant relationship between students’ strategies to
