The data were collected with the Metacognitive Awareness Inventory (MAI) and a personal information sheet. The mean score for the knowledge of cognition dimension of the evening education (type of course) students (64.2±10.2) was found to be significantly higher than that of the daytime students (61.5±10.2) (p<0.05). The mean score for the knowledge of cognition dimension of the freshmen students (64.1±9.5) was higher than that of the other students’ (p<0.05).
