Several studies have explored students’ learning of integral calculus. It is part of gateway mathematics courses at universities for many majors and is important for the development of the sciences. Integral calculus is one of the topics involved in mathematical courses at these levels, one that has several applications in different disciplines (see, ) and is a key subject in transitioning from secondary to tertiary education. So far, however, there has been little discussion in the literature about metacognitive knowledge in relation to the teaching and learning of mathematics at upper secondary and tertiary levels. Metacognitive activities are necessary for becoming a successful mathematical problem solver. Metacognitive knowledge is “knowledge of cognition in general as well as awareness and knowledge of one’s own cognition” (p.
