The study utilized a static-group pretest¨Cposttest quasi-experimental design. The first experimental group received web-based Internet search scaffolding (WISS) tool treatment; the second experimental group received TS; and the control group had NS. Receiving WISS during an Internet search had a significant effect on the improvement of metacognitive skills when compared with NS; however, it was not significant when compared with TS. While WISS group¡¯s scores in all subscales improved significantly compared with those of NS, TS¡¯s strategy generation scores were significantly higher than those of NS group. Moreover, WISS group¡¯s control of attention scores were significantly higher than those of TS group %K Internet search %K web-based metacognitive scaffolding %K metacognitive skills %U https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0047239518803291
