Abstract
This study examined differences in perceived metacognition (individual and group) between STEM and non-STEM students when they participated in inquiry-based learning, such as peer review approach and case-based learning. The results revealed that STEM students had a higher perception of metacognition when they participated in peer-review activities than non-STEM students when they participated in case-based learning. In addition, there were statistical differences between STEM and non-STEM students in their perceptions of overall metacognition, specifically, in group metacognition. We also examined differences between STEM and non-STEM graduate and undergraduate students. The results revealed differences between graduate and undergraduate students in their overall metacognition, specifically, in perceived group metacognition in both STEM and non-STEM students.
