Description

A 43-item, 7-point Likert self-report questionnaire developed by Teng and colleagues to assess EFL university students' metacognitive knowledge and regulation strategies in academic writing.

Components

  • MAWSQ: Metacognitive Academic Writing Strategies Questionnaire (43 items, eight strategies): The MAWSQ is a self-report questionnaire developed and validated by Teng et al. (2022b) to measure metacognitive strategies in academic writing. It includes 43 items on a 7-point Likert scale, with 13 assessing knowledge of metacognition (declarative, procedural, conditional) and 30 assessing regulation (planning, monitoring, evaluating, information management, debugging). In this study Cronbach's alpha values "for the eight strategies ranged from 0.792 to 0.872". Validation evidence included EFA and CFA supporting an eight-factor correlated model and a one-factor second-order model, with the second-order model preferred. (Mark Feng Teng (2022))
