dc.description.abstractThe aims of this study are to determine the metacognitive skills among undergraduate students and to develop simulation model of metallurgy lab machines for Mechanical Department at Babylon Technical Institute of Al-Furat Al-Awsat Technical University of Iraq (BTIAI). In addition, the study aims to identify the effect of the simulated model on the students’ metacognitive skills as well as their academic achievement. Data were collected through interviews, questionnaires and tests. The interviews were conducted with experts in the field to evaluate the suitability and applicability of the proposed simulated model in teaching the metallurgy subject. Pre and post questionnaires were distributed to 97 students; 46 in the experimental group and 51 in the control group in order to determine the effect of the proposed simulated model on metacognitive skills that categorized into three domains (self-planning, self-monitoring, and self-evaluation). Pre and post tests were conducted based on experimental and control groups to identify the effect of the proposed model on the students’ academic achievement. Empirical results indicate that metacognitive skills among the students are generally weak before conducting the experiment. Teaching by using the proposed model resulted in significant differences in favor of the experimental group over the control one in term of enhancing the metacognitive skills and academic achievement. The proposed model is suitable and applicable on teaching metallurgy subjects anytime and anywhere. In conclusion, teaching the metallurgy subjects using the proposed simulated model is more effective than the traditional way because they are promoting students self-learning, reducing students fear and stress when conducting the experiments, and give the students options to repeat the experiments in short period so that the students will become active participants in the learning process
