Abstract (2. Language): 
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships among 11 th grade students’ metacognition, chemistry achievement and attitudes toward chemistry. A total of 81 high school students at 11 th grade participated in this study. Data were collected using Metacognitive Awareness Inventory and Attitude Scale toward Chemistry at the end of the second half of the academic year 2010–2011. Students’ report card mean scores in chemistry course for that academic year were used as an indicator of their chemistry achievement. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation analysis. The results revealed that Turkish high school students held more declarative and conditional knowledge than procedural knowledge, and used debugging strategies more than the other strategies (planning, information management, monitoring and evaluating) to regulate their cognition. Significant associations were detected between attitude toward chemistry and chemistry achievement and metacognition, and between knowledge of cognition and regulation of cognition.

Bu çalışmanın amacı 11. sınıf öğrencilerinin üstbilişleri, kimya başarıları ve kimyaya yönelik tutumları arasındaki ilişkileri incelemektir. Bu çalışmaya 11. sınıf toplam 81 lise öğrencisi katılmıştır. Veriler 2010-2011 akademik yılının ikinci yarısı sonunda Üstbiliş Farkındalık Envanteri ve Kimya Tutum Ölçeği kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Verilerin toplandığı akademik yıla ait öğrencilerin kimya dersi karne not ortalamaları kimya başarılarının bir göstergesi olarak kullanılmıştır. Veriler betimleyici istatistik ve Pearson korelasyon analiz yöntemleri kullanılarak çözümlenmiştir. Analiz sonucunda öğrencilerinin açıklayıcı bilgiye ve durumsal bilgiye işlemsel bilgiden daha çok sahip oldukları ve öğrencilerin üstbilişlerini düzenlemede hata ayıklama yöntemini diğer yöntemlerden (planlama, izleme, değerlendirme ve bilgi yönetme) daha fazla kullandıkları bulunmuştur. Öğrencilerin kimyaya yönelik tutumları ile kimya başarıları ve üstbilişleri arasında ve üstbiliş bilgileri ile üstbiliş düzenlemeleri arasında anlamlı ilişkiler tespit edilmiştir.
