Abstract
This study aims to analyse the role of metacognitive skills in the
problem-solving ability of secondary school students. Descriptive survey method
was used to conduct the study and was administered on 200 secondary school
students. The instruments used were Metacognitive Skills Scale by Madhu Gupta
and Suman; and Problem-Solving Ability Test by Dubey and Mathur. After the
collection of data, suitable statistical techniques were used to analyse the
data. The research findings indicated that gender did not have a significant
impact on the metacognitive skills of secondary school students. However, the
findings also showed that problem-solving ability increases with higher levels
of metacognitive skills. Students with high levels of metacognitive skills
performed considerably better on problem-solving tasks compared to those with
low or medium levels. These findings indicate that metacognitive skills are a
significant predictor of problem-solving ability in secondary school students.
