teaching in this method has contributed to increase the level of students' metacognition
thinking better than the traditional way. And the study didn’t show a statistically
significant mean score difference between the mean scores of students of the experimental
group (male and female) in the post to test metacognition thinking, and it may be due to
the fact that student who learn in a metacognition was an active partner in educational
situation, he or she is the tempter, liquid and good listener, all that helped in the
development of his metacognition thinking skills, whether male or female.
