Abstract

The goal of this study was to evaluate how metacognition (knowledge or cognitive process that monitors or controls cognition) helps to predict training outcomes through learning adaptation. Participants were 117 students from California University San Bernardino (CSUSB). A sample of 117 CSUSB undergraduate students participated in the study to assess the impact of metacognition on their training performance and adaptation to the learning environment. As this study focused on visual learning style and auditory learning style, the reliability of the visual learning style and auditory learning style tested using the data collected from 108 participants in this study (with 9 participants screened out from the 117 participants from which the data was collected).
