The aim of this study was to adapt Shared-Metacognition Questionnaire (SMQ) into
Turkish. The original version of the SMQ consisting of 26 items and two factors
measures metacognition in online collaborative learning environments based on the
Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework. The data were collected from 364 university
students who had online learning experience. Confirmatory factor analysis was done on
two-factor and three-factor model. The three-factor model was confirmed with
satisfactory model fit indices. The value of AVE for each dimension verified the
convergent validity. For verifying discriminant validity, the AVE estimates of three
factors were compared with the square of correlation among the factors, and reported as
greater than shared-variance of related row-column values. The factor loading values
indicated very good to excellent loadings, as verifying the statistically satisfactory
indicator reliability. For internal consistency, composite reliability and alpha reliability
were found satisfactory. Thus, the Turkish version of the SMQ indicated a reliable and
valid estimate for online collaborative learning environments. Moreover, an Independent
Samples t-Test was performed to examine whether there is a significant mean difference
between female and male groups, and revealed that females scored higher on total shared
metacognition, individual monitoring, individual regulation and group regulation than males.
