“The epistemological beliefs and metacognitive strategies of a sample of university students of Electric Engineering are discussed in this short overview. Significant differences between promoting and non-promoting groups were found regarding both beliefs and strategies. A strong correlation effect was also found between the strategies and beliefs about the structure of knowledge and the ability to learn.
