When considering skills such as studying, which are key to the culmination of learning, those students with strong metacognition are able to identify their need for studying, to make a study plan and to evaluate their study strategies. They will be able to adjust their studying based on the demands and make wise decisions about study time (Gettinger &amp; Seibert, 2002).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class='card'><div class='card-header' role='tab' id='References-0'><a data-toggle='collapse' data-parent='#accordion0' href='#collapseOneReferences-0' aria-expanded='false' aria-controls='collapseOneReferences-0'><h3 class='mb-0'><em class='fas fa-angle-down rotate-icon'><\/em> References<\/h3><\/a><\/div><div id='collapseOneReferences-0' class='collapse' role='tabpanel' aria-labelledby='collapseOneReferences-0' data-parent='#accordion0'><div class='card-body'><p>Boyles, N.
