Abstract :

  The aim of this study was to investigate the mediating role of academic help-seeking in the relationship between metacognitive knowledge and school well-being in the format of a causal model. For this purpose, 456 students were selected from high schools of Lordegan, by using multistage cluster sampling method. For collecting data Metacognitive Awareness Inventory (Shraw & Dennison, 1994), Help-Seeking Behaviors Questionnaire (Ryan & Pintrich, 1997), and School-Related Well-Being Scales (Kaplan & Maehr, 1999) were used. Research hypothetical model was tested by path analysis. The results showed direct effects of procedural knowledge and declaration knowledge on school well-being. Furthermore, types of metacognitive knowledge showed direct effects on academic help seeking acceptance Also types of metacognitive knowledge have effects on school well-being. The Bootstrap results showed the mediating role of academic help seeking acceptance in the relationship between types of metacognitive knowledge and school well-being and the mediating role of academic avoidance from help seeking in the relationship between procedural knowledge and school well-being. In general, results of the present study provided evidence for mediating role of academic help-seeking in the relationship between types of metacognitive knowledge and school well-being.
