Abstract :
The purpose of the present study is to compare the effectiveness of metacognitive skills and mindfulness skills training on academic meaning and academic conscience among secondary school students in Tabriz. The present study is among the semi-experimental studies with pre-test-post-test and random replacement of the subjects using the control group. 45 students were selected from the second secondary school students of Tabriz city in the academic year 1401-1402 by multi-stage cluster sampling and were randomly replaced in two experimental groups and one control group. Experimental groups were trained in group metacognitive skills (Melchior, Franken, Dunn, Der Hayden, 2019) and mindfulness skills (Kabat-Zinn, 2005). McIlroy and Buntig (2002) and Henderson-King and Smith (2006) academic consciousness questionnaires are used to evaluate dependent assessments. The results were used through multivariate covariance analysis (MANCOVA) and SPSS22 statistical software. The results showed that the effect of mental skills on students' academic conscience and academic meaning is positive and significant. The results revealed that the effect of metacognitive skill on educational conscience was positive and significant, but not significant on the meaning of education. The results revealed that there is no significant difference between skills and mental skills in the degree of influence on the variables related to the conscientiousness of education and the meaning of education.
