Academic performance, metacognitive reading strategies, purposive communication, Jose Rizal Memorial State University, Katipunan CampusAbstract
The purpose of this study was to ascertain the reading comprehension metacognitive techniques and their correlation with academic performance in purposeful communication among Jose Rizal Memorial State University, Katipunan Campus students in the academic year 2024–2025.The research methodology used was descriptive correlational. One hundred seventy-seven (177) people participated. JAMOVI was the statistical program utilized, and the statistical techniques that were employed were the weighted mean, standard deviation, and Spearman Rank-Order Correlation Coefficient (Spearman-RHO). Metacognitive methods were prevalent prior to, during, and following reading. Academic performance was at a good level. Academic performance and the metacognitive methods used for reading comprehension showed a substantial negative small/low connection. Based on the results, the author suggests that the Board of Regents, via the Deans and Campus Directors, use this study as a basis for potential improvements to the university's academic policy. The study's conclusions would be used by the educators to reflect and enhance their lesson plans. Through this study, the students will be able to understand how important metacognitive methods are for both academic success and reading comprehension.
