Coinciding with the activation of the exceptional academic time approved by the Ministry of National Education in parallel with the imposition of the health protocol in educational institutions during the Corona pandemic in Algeria where the descriptive approach was adopted by a simple random sample of 150 male and female students with the employment of metacognitive skills scale by Ali Fares. After statistical treatment of the data collected by the SPSS-V22 program, we interpreted the results in light of the findings of previous studies.
