@article{2018,title={THE ROLE OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES IN DEVELOPING METACOGNITIVE AWARENESS SKILLS},abstractNode={The main purpose of education in our rapidly changing world is to raise human beings who are able to produce new information from the old knowledge.At this point we come across with the individuals with well-developed metacognitive skills.There are many definitions to metacognition but in the most general sense it is the knowledge and the apprehension of an individual about his/her cognitive processes as well as how these processes are regulated.It is very important for a student to actively participate in learning and engage himself/herself in a physical activity that will allow him/her to cooperate with others ,to feel secure and comfortable and thus it will create the proper social environment for metacognitive awareness skills to develop.Therefore the physical education lessons as well as the sports and the games which are defined in the basic law of national education create the proper social environment for students to develop their metacognitive skills. This study examines whether the physical activities students join have a contribution to their metacognitive skills or not.},author={Soner TUZCUOĞLU},year={2018},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science}}
