Abstract
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of student achievement during
comprehension lesson using metacognitive strategy and examine the effects of the strategy used in
reading and understanding expository text lessons. Besides, this study also identified
metacognitive strategy used by students in all three reading processes (before reading, during
reading and after reading). The research applied a quasi-experimental design. Research sample
involved Standard 4 students from a government primary school in Muara Brunei District.
Samples were divided into two groups, namely the experimental group and the control group. Each
group involved 30 average-ranking students. Research results were analysed using independent t-
test samples to assess the significant differences for mean of reading comprehension performance
between control group and experimental group during pre and post tests. Meanwhile One Way
Ancova analysis was used to determine the effects of using metacognitive strategy during reading
comprehension lessons. Based on the t-test analysis, there was a significant difference of reading
comprehension performance between the score of experimental group and control group, t = 12.96,
p < 0.0. The analysis of One Way Ancova data, p= 0.00 < 0.05 (F " ratio = 493.22 / 2.25 = 219.41
p < 0.05) also proved that the significant effects of metacognitive strategy usage on
comprehension lesson. Overall, the metacoginitve strategy used by the students in this study has
proven to enhance students’ understanding on the texts that they have read.
