| Research Abstract |
This research project carried out a theoretical and an empirical international comparison of university students' epistemic metacognitive skills. Over the course of three years(from 2008 to 2010), I have used Carvalho and Kusumi's(2006) factorial model of epistemic metacognition to assess how it relates to students' critical thinking skills in three different countries : Japan, Philippines and Brazil. In addition, in the last year of the project(2011), I have empirically assessed how students' epistemic metacognition and critical thinking skills relate to their academic performances and beliefs about second language acquisition in a real educational setting.
