Abstract

Prior researches regarding metacognitive awareness had been conducted but none of them analyzed particularly only to the metacognitive awareness and the senior year of university students. Thus, the aim of this study is to map metacognitive awareness skills of senior year college students at the English Language Education Department. There were 90 students who participated in this survey study. In order to assess their metacognitive awareness skills, this study employed Metacognitive Awareness Inventory (MAI) from Schraw & Dennison (1994), consisted of 52 items, divided into 8 domains: declarative knowledge, procedural knowledge, conditional knowledge, planning, information management strategies, monitoring, debugging strategies, evaluation. The data were analyzed by using a descriptive quantitative method to determine the highest and the lowest domain that represented respondents’ metacognitive awareness. The results showed that the highest metacognitive awareness skill of senior year students was planning ( = 4.02), followed by procedural knowledge (= 3.99), monitoring (= 3.91), information management strategies (= 3.88), declarative knowledge (= 3.87), evaluation ( = 3.85), debugging strategies ( = 3.83), and the lowest domain was conditional knowledge (= 3.81). The findings implied that senior year students could determine goals before starting their learning process. They knew how to achieve their goals, monitored their process, managed information, obtained knowledge, analyzed their performance, and revised their process based on analysis. However, they needed to improve their skill in selecting effective strategies based on specific circumstances.

Abstract

In this consumerist world, the necessity of teaching ethics, values, and humanity seems to secure a marginal space in any curriculum emphasizing only on content teaching of the subjects associated to shape the graduates as sellable candidates in the job market. Since the ultimate vision of teaching and learning is expected to reshape or build ideal human beings with moral, ethical, and humane qualities, the teaching of ethics and values should be integrated along with the content teaching of the subjects in undergraduate programs. Hence, the vision of developing professional ethics, community ethics, self-esteem, personality, and character should be reflected in and taught through the curriculum. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether human values and ethics are emphasized in the objectives of the curriculum and course content of the departments of English in Bangladeshi private universities. This paper also aims to identify the gap created by the absence of humanizing study contents in the undergraduate English program curriculums of private universities in Bangladesh and provide suggestions to fill the vacuum. After the content analysis of collected curriculums, a significant gap in the inclusion of humanizing study contents in these undergraduate English curriculums to develop moral and ethical faculties among the learners was traced. The study came up with suggestions for adjustment in the university curriculum to fill this vacuum by integrating content and value learning together adopting a holistic approach to nurture humane and moral behavior.
