Abstract
This article provides a case study focusing on the enhancement of metacognitive abilities among learners in secondary general education schools in Kazakhstan. It explores a range of factors that influence students' academic performance. Additionally, the article discusses the international and practical experiences of developed nations in promoting learners' metacognitive abilities. These experiences offer an opportunity to adopt and implement effective strategies to address challenges, evaluate outcomes and consequences, and adapt approaches based on prior knowledge. Research and investigation into practical applications and international experiences related to enhancing learners' metacognitive abilities are currently significant areas of focus in the field of education. The metacognitive abilities of learners play a crucial role in their learning success and can greatly enhance their overall effectiveness as learners. This study aims to examine various methods of metacognitive development employed in different countries worldwide, including Australia, Great Britain, Germany, and Finland. This study aims to investigate the relationship and influence of metacognitive awareness and academic motivation on students' academic achievement. Metacognitive awareness plays a crucial role in determining the level of success in learning and serves as a valuable measure for assessing academic achievement, as well as its connection to both intrinsic and extrinsic academic motivation.
