Abstract :
The aim of the present study was to determine the mediating role of metacognitive awareness in the relationship between school effectiveness and students' academic optimism. The method of the research was descriptive correlational. The statistical population included all students of the 11th grade of the second period of secondary school in Zanjan in the academic year of 2022-2023 totaling to 5600 people, of which 300 people were recruited based on Morgan’s table after consulting with university professors. The research tools for data collection were three school effectiveness questionnaires of Hoy (2009), Techanen-Moran (2013) academic optimism and Mokhtari and Richard (2002) metacognitive self-awareness. Structural models with partial least squares approach were used for data analysis. The results of the analysis showed that the direct effects of school effectiveness on academic optimism (t=4.96, p=0.000) and metacognitive self-awareness (t=4.38, p=0.02), and metacognitive awareness on academic optimism (t=9.96, p = 0.000) were significant. Also, the indirect effect of school effectiveness on academic optimism with the mediation of metacognitive self-awareness was also significant (t=9.37, p=0.001). Finally, the proposed model has a good fit.
