Although the result of the current study is indicative of positive effects of chess play on developing
meta-cognitive ability of the students, there is little or no study in this respect to challenge our results or
to support it even more.
Another result of this study is that, as Pearson Correlation test shows, there is a positive and
significant relationship between meta-cognitive ability of students and their problem-solving power at p
< 0.01 level. The Pearson correlation was 0.719 which signifies a strong relationship. This result is
consistent with other research done in mathematics and meta-cognitive domain. Here, some of these
studies are addressed briefly.
