To address these issues, five main dimensions are proposed, and many significant items for this problem are defined. Then a university course is selected to conduct this study, and in order to assess the level of metacognition skills, the proposed dimensions, and the relevance among these dimensions, the research instrument was distributed to 50 students. The data is analysed, conclusions and numerical results are then reported indicating that the use of the proposed procedure for assessing the ability of students in planning, organising, controlling, and evaluating skills is highly recommended.
