Abstract

Introduction : The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of environmental affordances on metacognitive in children with intellectual disability. Method: This was a quasi-experimental study. Target population included 175 children (6-9 years old) with intellectual disability living in Babol in 2017. Among them 50 children were conveniently recruited and randomly divided into two groups: experimental and control group (25 per each group). The experimental group went under a specific program including the environmental affordances, such as, facilities, training, and exercises focusing on motor skills development of children. The intervention lasted for 36 weeks, 3 sessions per week, and 30 to 45 minutes per session. The metacognitive questionnaire (MCQ-C) was used to assess metacognitive skills. Analysis of covariance was used to analyze the collected data. Results: The results indicated that the environmental affordances were effective in improving m metacognitive (pConclusion: Considering the lack of metacognitive skills in children with mental disorders and the relationship between metacognition and learning, it can be argued that is suggested improving the metacognitive skills of these children in order to improve the learning of different skills.
