ABSTRACT
This study aimed to investigate the effect of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and
mathematics) activities in enhancing the level of metacognitive awareness of mathematics among
students at the primary stage. The study used a quasi-experimental design. The researchers used
the metacognitive awareness inventory of Schraw and Dennison (1994) to assess the level of
metacognitive awareness of mathematics among students at the primary stage. The sample of
the study included 43 students from the third grade who were chosen randomly and divided into
two groups: experimental (23) and control (20). The results showed that students who learned
mathematics through STEAM activities had a greater awareness of metacognition than those who
learned mathematics traditionally. The study recommended using STEAM activities in
mathematics classes and investigating the effectiveness of learning using STEAM activities on
metacognitive awareness in other scientific subjects and for different educational levels..
