Abstract
The research study aimed to investigate Thai higher education, Electric program students’ metacognitive reading strategies in case of different majors in the same field. The sample of the research consisted of 70 second-year electric program students ; 35 Electric Power Engineering students, and 35 Electrical Technical Education students. The research instrument was the Survey of Reading Strategies (SORS), developed by Mokhtari & Sheorey (2001) which was applied for measuring the frequency of metacognitive awareness in reading academic texts. The data were analyzed by the package program in accordance with means, standard deviation, pos-hoc, and One-way ANOVA.
The findings of this study revealed that the problem-solving strategy group was the most frequently used whereas the support strategy was at the least when they read English academic materials. Furthermore, both academic programs in the same field had different statistical significance on global strategy. In conclusion, the difference for student’s using reading strategies depended on the nature of their majors.
