Description

The study explores how social bonds (social and emotional connections) and metacognition (thoughts about thinking) interact when Bhutanese Year 9 students learn physics. Findings reveal that social bonds and metacognition mutually reinforce each other during physics learning. Students’ metacognitive engagement is shaped by their bonds, with intact bonds leading to deeper engagement and enhanced understanding of physics concepts, while broken bonds are associated with reduction in metacognitive engagement. The study contributes to a holistic understanding of metacognition in science education scholarship, offering practical implications that can inform the practices of science teaching.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
