ABSTRACT
This study explores the relationship between metacognition, achievement motivation, and
academic achievement among senior secondary school students. Grounded in educational
psychology, the research investigates how student’s motivation to achieve and their academic
performance relate to their ability to regulate and reflect on their learning processes. Using a
quantitative approach, data were collected from a sample of 600 students through
standardized instruments measuring metacognitive awareness, achievement motivation, and
academic achievement scores. The results revealed a significant positive correlation between
metacognition and achievement motivation, as well as between metacognition and academic
achievement. Furthermore, students with higher levels of motivation and academic success
demonstrated notably stronger metacognitive abilities. ANOVA results also indicated
significant main and interaction effects of achievement motivation and academic achievement
