The Relation Among Epistemological Beliefs, Metacognition and Academic Achievement for Junior High and Elementary School Students Chin-Tang Tu*. Abstract. It is believed that the epistemological beliefs that learners hold will have an impact on learners’ metacognition and influence further their achievement. Accordingly, many scholars asserted that metacognition plays a role of mediator in the relationship between epistemological beliefs and achievement. Currently, however, few studies can be found regarding the empirical data verification of mediating effect. The present study aims to investigate the mediating effect model of epistemological beliefs, metacognition, and learners’ achievement of mathematics on the basis of empirical data. 861 participants were Taiwanese students from the fifth grade to the eighth grade. Research data were collected from Epistemological Questionnaire, Metacognition Questionnaire, and their records for current semester of mathematics. Meanwhile, Structural Equations Model was also employed to process the experimentation of mediating effect. Findings of the present study showed that epistemological beliefs exercised significant influence over the results of learners’ achievement of mathematics; nevertheless, mediation model of metacognition did not elicit any significant evidence from empirical data of the present *.
