Metacognitive awareness seemed to be the key factor in learning the material. Metacognition refers to the knowledge of cognitive functions such as perception, memory, reasoning etc., Academic achievement to a large extent depends on metacognitive awareness as per various metacognitive psychologists.The presents study is focused on metacognitive awareness of late adolescents and also to assess the comparison of metacognitive awareness between girls and boys in eight sub-components such as declarative knowledge, procedural knowledge, conditional knowledge, planning, information management strategies, comprehension monitoring, debugging strategies and evaluation. The study was carried out on a sample of 100 late adolescents aged 18yrs. The results revealed that late adolescents have metacognitive awareness. Boys and girls both have good knowledge on all the sub-components of metacognitive awareness equally but significant difference was found on only one sub-component i.e., comprehension monitoring which was in favor of girls.
