problem is solved. It is acomplex process that depends on and influences students’ understanding about themselves asthinkers and learners, and usually precedes and follows cognitive activity. Butler found that astudent’s understanding of a learning activity is grounded in productive metacognition abouttasks associated with students’ thoughtful planning, self-monitoring, and selection of appropriatestrategies to accomplish task objectives [1]. Metacognitive skill plays a particularly critical rolein real-life or open-ended tasks, such as solving ill-structured design problems.Metacognition is critical to the self-evaluation of one’s knowledge and abilities [2], which isessential in mathematics [3, 4], science [5, 6], technology [7, 8], engineering
