Investigation of Effect of Spatial Intelligence on Amount of Application of Meta-Cognitive Strategies in Students

Introduction: Introduction: Intelligence and its various aspects are some parts ofhuman existence that has a prominent role in the prosperity of human life in all areasof life. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of spatial intelligenceon the extent of the use of meta-cognitive strategies.Methods: To collect data, the researcher made a questionnaire that was used tomeasure spatial intelligence. The stability of the research instrument on the basis ofAlfa Chronbach coefficient was about 84%. To assess students' meta-cognition, Pintrich and De Grout’s questionnaire was used. The general validity of this questionnairein the last application was 89%. Reliability of the research instrument was improvedusing amending ideas of research committee so that it could determine 75% of thereach variable variances.Results: Results were analyzed using the multivariable regression analysis methodsand path analysis. Finally the proposed fit model was analyzed using LISRELsoftware. Findings showed that spatial intelligence has a significant and positive effecton meta-cognitive strategies.According to the obtained results, we can say that the research model has had good fitfrom the real world data.Conclusion: Thus, it was concluded that spatial intelligence has had significanteffects on the use of meta-cognitive strategies, and thus, lead to improve studentlearning.
