| Description | The study investigates "off-line" metacognition (i.e. the level of prediction and the level of self-evaluation) in relation to the solving of mathematical problems by primary school pupils. We used the test consisting of five tasks, which also included questions aimed at finding out the level of pupils' prediction and their level of self-evaluation.We processed the obtained data with the intentions of a quantitative methodological approach. It follows from the research findings that students who were successful in solving tasks achieved a higher level of prediction and self-assessment than students who were unsuccessful in solving tasks. |
