The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of instruction in cognitive and metacognitive strategies on Taiwanese ninth-grade students’ metacognitive abilities. The investigators designed a Metacognitive-Strategy Worksheet (MSW) to promote students’ use of cognitive and metacognitive strategies while solving problems. The MSW was developed based on Montague’s (1992, 1995, 1997) cognitive-metacognitive strategies for mathematical problem solving. The results of the study indicated that although instruction in cognitive and metacognitive strategies utilizing MSW techniques did not have a statistically significant effect on the ninth-grade students’ overall metacognitive abilities, it might have benefited their strategy use.
