With the use of descriptive survey method, a study sample comprising of 100 students (50 boys and 50 girls) was chosen through simple random sampling. The Metacognitive Skills Scale by Madhu Gupta and Suman (2017) which was both adapted and translated to Assamese, provided the data needed for this study. For the analysis, descriptive statistics, and inferential statistics like t-tests was used. Findings revealed that 68% of students demonstrated at and above average levels on both metacognitive skills (M = 150.73, SD = 16.98) A significant gender difference was found in, metacognitive skills, with girls outperforming boys (p < 0.001) The findings of this study support the importance of metacognitive skill among learners. The study suggests that teachers should incorporate explicit instruction of metacognitive strategies within the curriculum frameworks in classes.
