ABSTRACT
This study determined the efficacy of training in metacognitive strategies in reading comprehension. It also examined the differential effect of metacognitive strategies on the achievement and interest of male and female students in reading comprehension. Four research questions and six null hypotheses guided the study. The design of the study was a pretest posttest control group design. The sample consisted 297 SSS II students in four schools in Awka South Local Government Area of Anambra State. Data for the study were collected with two instruments, reading comprehension achievement test and reading comprehension interest scale. The instruments were validated by experts in Educational Psychology and Measurement and Evaluation. The research questions were answered using mean and standard deviation, while the hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance using a 2 –way analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Results from the study revealed that students exposed to training in metacognitive strategies achieved higher and showed greater interest in reading comprehension than those not exposed. Also that gender has no significant influence in reading comprehension achievement and interest of students. However, the study revealed no significant interaction effect of gender and training in reading comprehension achievement and interest of students. Based on the findings of the study, the researcher recommend a need to expose both teachers and students to training in metacognitive strategies through workshop and seminars. Curriculum planners need to restructure the school curriculum to reflect experiential learning model to enable teachers use strategies in the classroom, to help students become independent learners.
