Objectives. Metacognitive monitoring in preschool children plays an important role in the further learning process and help seeking. The aim of the present study is to determine whether the preschool children are able to monitor their performance while solving cognitive tasks (1). What is the relationship between the accuracy of metacognitive monitoring and the performance (2). How are these relationships related to the nature of cognitive tasks (3). Sample and setting. The sample consisted of total 97 children from 5 to 6 years old. Children individually solved 4 cognitive tasks and provided item-by-item or global confidence judgments (CJs) using the traffic light with red and green colours. Statistical analysis. Absolute accuracy index and bias index (Schraw, 2009) were calculated. To analyse age differences and bias differences (real and overestimated performance) independent samples t-test was used. To analyse task differences the ANOVA was used. Results. Preschool children are able to monitor their performance retrospectively (using CJs). They are more metacognitively accurate in verbal tasks than in non-verbal (Piagetian) tasks. Moreover, the monitoring accuracy significantly (p < .001) corresponds to the task performance. Study limitation. The finding requires further research concerning analyzing other characteristics of the cognitive task such as difficulty, and using different ways of analyzing and evaluating results, as well as taking into account the factors of social environment, which plays an important role in the development of metacognitive awareness in preschool children.

Ciele. Skúmanie otázok metakognície na úrovni predškolského veku predstavuje významnú a v našich podmienkach relatívne novú oblasť psychologického bádania. Cieľom prezentovanej štúdie je zistiť, či deti predškolského veku dokážu pri riešení kognitívnych úloh monitorovať svoje výkony (1). Aký je vzťah medzi presnosťou metakognitívneho monitoringu a výsledným výkonom (2). Ako tieto vzťahy súvisia s charakterom riešených kognitívnych úloh (3). Výskumná vzorka – postup. Výskumnú vzorku tvorilo 97 detí vo veku 5 a 6 rokov, ktorým boli individuálne administrované 4 kognitívne úlohy spolu s posudzovaním správnosti ich riešenia na dvojbodovej škále retrospektívneho monitorovania (tzv. „confidence judgments“, CJs). Štatistická analýza. Pomocou t-testu boli analyzované rozdiely medzi deťmi v závislosti od veku (5 a 6 rokov) a presnosti odhadu (deti s realistickejším odhadom oproti deťom s nadhodnoteným odhadom). ANOVA bola použitá na zisťovanie rozdielov v presnosti monitoringu jednotlivých úloh vyjadrenej dvoma indexmi absolútnej správnosti (podľa Schraw, 2009). Výsledky štúdie dokumentujú, že 5–6 ročné deti sú schopné monitorovať a retrospektívne posudzovať úspešnosť svojich riešení, pričom v úlohách verbálneho charakteru vyžadujúcich porozumenie textu to zvládajú štatisticky významne lepšie. Presnosť metakognitívneho monitoringu korešponduje s výsledným výkonom, čo sa potvrdilo vo všetkých sledovaných úlohách na hladine štatistickej významnosti p < ,001. Limity. Uvedené zistenia budú vyžadovať ďalšie overovanie pri súčasnom sledovaní a kontrole viacerých charakteristík použitých kognitívnych úloh, s využitím rozličných spôsobov analýzy a hodnotenia výsledkov, ako aj zohľadnením faktorov sociálneho prostredia, ktoré – ako sa ukazuje – zohráva významnú úlohu vo vývine metakognitívneho uvedomovania detí predškolského veku.

Objectives. The aim of the study is to investigate reading comprehension and metacomprehension as they occur in preschool age in relation to sociocultural environment of the family, in comparison with traditional predictors of beginning reading acquisition represented by several indicators of phonological awareness. Participants and setting. A group of 327 preschool- age children from middle-SES families and 55 children from low-SES families were compared. Hypotheses. It was assumed that children from low-SES families would perform worse than children from middle-SES families namely in literacy tasks requiring specific social experience with reading, i.e. text comprehension and metacognitive monitoring. Statistical analysis. The differences between the groups were tested using independent samples t-tests, monitoring accuracy on the correct and incorrect answers using the chi-squared test and the relationship between monitoring accuracy and performance in the two text comprehension tasks using 2-way ANO VA. Results. Results showed that children from low- SES families demonstrated significantly lower overall performance in all literacy tasks, however, the group differences in text comprehension varied in relation to the task difficulty (complexity and the level of comprehension). Moreover, in metacognitive monitoring, children from low-SES families showed significantly higher tendency to underestimate their correct performance, indicating lower self-esteem. Study limitations. The main limitation of the study was the lack of information about everyday reading behaviour in children’s family environment.
