Abstract: This experiment studied the relationship between the level of learning control (the adequacy of selecting learning content and controlling pace) and the level of metacognitive monitor (the accuracy of judging one's own learning effectiveness) when 58 3rd grade primary school pupils learned addition rules (rule learning) and used them for computing (skill learning) in CAI condition. The results showed, ( 1)in rule learning, there was significant relationship between the level learning control and metacognitive monitor, but in skill learning, there was no significant relationship be- tween them; (2) level of learning control in rule learning was significantly higher than in skill learning: (3)there was no significant relationship between learning control or metacognitive monitor and achievement.

Key words: learning control, metacognitive monitor, rule learning, skill learning
