The sample consisted of (290) students' males and females.To achieve the aim of the study, two scales were used including an Arabic version of metacognitive scaleAl-Jarrah and Obidat (2011); and a scale of Abu-Ghazal, Al-Hamouri, ,and Ajloni, (2013) to measure goal orientations. The results indicated that students had a high level of metacognition thinking and had a moderate level of goal orientations at the total score and at each domain separately.
