Multiple regression analysis and Pearsons correlation coefficiency were applied on the data. Statistical analyses presented a positive correlation between metacognitive state and academic self- regulation. On the other hand, there was a negative association between meta-cognitive believes and academic self- regulation. Furthermore, analyses showed that %26 variance of academic self- regulation can be predicted by three metacognitive components: planning, uncontrollability and the need to control.
