Description
Research on metacognitive awareness among Arabic learners in Islamic universities is limited. This study provides the first validation of the Junior Metacognitive Awareness Inventory (Jr. MAI) in the Indonesian Arabic language learning context. A total of 216 students from seven Islamic universities participated. The translated Jr. MAI achieved a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.840, with 16 of 18 items showing acceptable to strong correlations (r = 0.318–0.558). Two items were weakly correlated and require revision. The findings support the Indonesian Jr. MAI as a reliable, valid tool for research and instructional improvement.
