The aim of this study is to develop and evaluate instructional strategies to develop metacognition among elementary school students in scientific observations and experiments. They included five instructional methods: (1) instruction of self-control strategies, (2) bulletining the learning plan, (3) improvement of questioning techniques, (4) utilization of flash cards, (5) devising worksheets. The lessons were conducted for 51 elementary school students (5th year) to examine the effects. The results of this study demonstrated the effectiveness of using these instructional strategies.
