Results showed that homework management was predicted by two components of metacognitive skills (awareness and control). The results suggested that among components of metacognition, the two components (awareness and control) significantly predicted homework management positively (. It can be concluded that awareness is the strongest variable in predicting and explaining homeworkmanagement, followed by the component awareness.
