Abstract

Introduction: Introduction: Intelligence and its various aspects are some parts of human existence that has a prominent role in the prosperity of human life in all areas of life. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of spatial intelligence on the extent of the use of meta-cognitive strategies.Methods: To collect data, the researcher made a questionnaire that was used to measure spatial intelligence. The stability of the research instrument on the basis of Alfa Chronbach coefficient was about 84%. To assess students' meta-cognition, Pint rich and De Grout’s questionnaire was used. The general validity of this questionnaire in the last application was 89%. Reliability of the research instrument was improved using amending ideas of research committee so that it could determine 75% of the reach variable variances.Results: Results were analyzed using the multivariable regression analysis methods and path analysis. Finally the proposed fit model was analyzed using LISREL software. Findings showed that spatial intelligence has a significant and positive effect on meta-cognitive strategies. According to the obtained results, we can say that the research model has had good fit from the real world data.  Conclusion: Thus, it was concluded that spatial intelligence has had significant effects on the use of meta-cognitive strategies, and thus, lead to improve student learning.
