Abstract Education is a central part of any society, it is a thousand times better to have common sense without education than to have education without common sense. For Alvin Toffler, the illiterate of the 21st century will not be the ones who do not know how to read and write but rather than ones that will not be able to learn, unlearn and relearn. For the advancement in education, it would be essential to develop how to think process, the consciousness and regulation of learning strategies called metacognition. Metacognition is defined most simply as “thinking about thinking.” Metacognition consists of two components: knowledge and regulation. Metacognitive knowledge includes knowledge about oneself as a learner and the factors that might impact performance, knowledge about strategies, and knowledge about when and why to use strategies. Metacognition is associated with planning; monitoring, evaluating and repairing performance Designers of eLearning systems can improve the quality of their environments by explicitly structuring the visual and interactive display of learning contexts to facilitate metacognition. The present study has covered 500 samples with 2 districts of the Karnataka in central school students in relation to High, under and low achievers in the schools. Achievements are similarly changes in the two central schools. The present study reveals that there is significance difference between high achievers with respect to Metacognitive awareness and its dimensions as compared with low achievers and Average achievers. It can be concluded that high achievers are possessed with high level meta cognitive awareness along with its dimensions as compared with low achievers and average achievers.
