This study aimed to verify the use of metacognitive reading strategies by high school students. The subjects, which 58.3% were female, were 487 high school students from public (55.7%) and private (44.3%) schools. The age was between 14 and 16 years old, with an average of 16.2 years and standard deviation of 1.27. The procedure consisted of the colective application of metacognitive reading strategies. The results showed that the most frequent strategies used by the subjects were the problem solution ones, especially during the reading. The females subjects (M=46.10; DP=12.42) used reading strategies more often than males (M=39.13; DP =13.94). There were significative statistical differences between subjects of 15 and 17 years when it came to the use of the metacoginitive strategies [F(7.48)=2.33; p<0.02] while reading. The use of the strategies by the first high school level was really diferent to the third and teacher preparation level [F(3.484)=12.36; p<0.00].Downloads
