Abstract
This paper presents a metacognition model that has relevance for understanding general problem-solving deficits in LD students. Two components of metacognition are highlighted - executive processes and attributional beliefs. An educational package that combines these components with specific strategy training (such as instruction in summarization) is illustrated as an approach to solving the problem of skill generalization in LD students.

This study embarked to offer new insights into teachers’ knowledge, beliefs and attitudes towards mathematical problem solving, and their association with their self-reported instructional practices, through the development of a questionnaire and statistical modelling of the emerging relationships.

A framework in which goals are proposed to be central determinants of achievement patterns was tested, showing the way in which the performance goal-low perceived ability condition produced the same pattern of strategy deterioration, failure attribution, and negative affect found in naturally occurring learned helplessness.

Compared to mastery-oriented children, helpless children underestimated the number of success (and overestimated the numberOf failures), did not view successes as indicative of ability, and did not expect the successes to continue, so successes are less salient, less predictive, and less enduring--less successful.
