Abstract
This study was conducted to examine the relationship between metacognitive
awareness of reading strategies (MARS), and academic attainments (AA) of
undergraduate business students. It also investigated the relationship between
reading practices (RP) and MARS. There are three different categories of MARS
– global, problem solving, and support reading strategies. The Metacognitive
Awareness of Reading Strategies Inventory (MARSI), developed by Mokhtari
and Reichard (2002) was used as the instrument for this study where the sample
consisted of 571 male and female students of undergraduate business program
from private and public universities of Karachi. The results showed Metacognitive
Awareness of Reading Strategies significantly predicts academic attainments of
university students. The findings suggest that conducting workshops or training
sessions for promoting MARS may be helpful to enhance students’ concentration
towards the reading process that may affect their learning.
