ENHANCING ACADEMIC SUCCESS: META-COGNITIVE STRATEGIES FOR STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL COMMUNICATION NEEDS
Keywords:
Meta-cognition, academic success, special communication needsAbstract
This study explores the impact of meta-cognitive strategies on the academic success of students with special communication needs. Meta-cognition, involving the awareness and regulation of one's own learning processes, has been recognized as a critical factor in educational achievement. For students requiring special attention in communication, these strategies can offer significant benefits by fostering self-regulation, enhancing problem-solving skills, and promoting independent learning. The research reviews various meta-cognitive techniques, including self-monitoring, goal-setting, and reflective practices, and evaluates their effectiveness in supporting this unique student population. Through a combination of qualitative and quantitative analyses, the study demonstrates how targeted meta-cognitive interventions can lead to improved academic outcomes, increased confidence, and better communication skills. The findings suggest that incorporating meta-cognitive strategies into educational programs can provide a valuable framework for helping students with special communication needs achieve their full academic potential.
