It consists of 7 different high schools where the students participated in the study and studied in the province of Karabük. The research findings were expressed as n, (%), mean and standard deviation, and were considered significant at p <0.05 significance level. All statistical calculations were made in SPSS 22.0 V. statistics package program. Considering all the findings and related researches obtained, it is seen that metacognitive skill plays an important role in students' success. In addition to this, it was observed that the success levels of students who developed the metacognitive strategy increased.
