Metacognitive Awareness Inventory Overview

The Metacognitive Awareness Inventory (MAI), created by Schraw and Dennison in 1994, is a reliable tool for assessing metacognitive awareness in adults, with a high internal consistency indicated by a Cronbach's Alpha of 0.867. The inventory consists of 52 true/false items that evaluate two main components: knowledge about cognition and regulation of cognition, each containing several subcomponents. The MAI helps in understanding individuals' cognitive processes and their management strategies.

The Metacognitive Awareness Inventory (MAI), developed by Schraw and

Dennison (1994), was employed to assess metacognitive awareness


among adults in the study. With a Cronbach's Alpha of 0.867, this
indicates a high level of internal consistency, suggesting that the MAI is a
reliable instrument. This inventory consists of 52 items that respondents
answer with either "true" or "false." The MAI examines two principal
components, each comprising various subcomponents. The first
component, knowledge about cognition, looks into an individual's
knowledge of their cognitive processes and includes three
subcomponents: declarative knowledge, procedural knowledge, and
conditional knowledge. The second component, regulation about
cognition, evaluates how individuals plan for and manage these cognitive
processes. This includes several subprocesses like planning, information
management strategies, comprehension monitoring, debugging
strategies, and evaluation.
