Abstract

This study aims to identify (rebellion behavior in Kindergartners, the effectiveness of metacognitive strategy in reducing rebellion behavior in Kindergartners). To achieve these objectives, the researcher used two tools (i.e. a note card for rebellion behavior in Kindergartners, the metacognitive strategy). The study population consisted of kindergartners of 5-6 years old in a kindergarten in Riyadh city. The study sample was 50 male and female children. The study sample was grouped into a control group of (25) children, and the experimental group of (25) children.
Findings revealed the effectiveness of using the metacognitive strategy in reducing rebellion behavior in Kindergartners. It showed that there are statistically significant differences, at significance value (P=0.05), between the control and the experimental group, in the after application on the note card for rebellion behavior of the Kindergartner, regarding its dimensions (behaviors related to the instructions of the kindergarten and the teacher, behaviors related to the activities, and behaviors related to eating). Findings showed that differences came in favor of the experimental group. Findings also revealed that there are statistically significant differences between the degree means of kindergarteners, in the experimental group, in the after and before application, in favor of the after application.
