The current preliminary study examines the impact of a pedagogical approach that integrated metacognitive checklists, practice logs, and metacognitive scaffolding on students’ regulatory behavior, motivation, and performance. A total of 104 students participated in the study across three conditions: control (n = 31), metacognitive prompt (n = 35), and webbook + metacognitive prompt (n = 38). The data for this study were online self-report questionnaires and student grades collected across three semesters of a college-level introductory piano classroom. Findings suggest a relatively small impact of the use of a metacognitive framework on student perceptions of regulation, motivation, and outcomes. No significant differences were found between control and experimental conditions for student self-report measures of their metacognitive ability as well as motivational constructs of cost and maintained interest. However, there were some group differences observed in descriptive findings relating to students' perceptions of the effectiveness of instructional materials in facilitating regulatory behaviors. Further, it appears that the experimental conditions had a positive impact on changes in emotional cost (feeling of frustration, stress, or anxiety) across the semester. When examining course outcomes, the webbook + metacognitive prompt condition was shown to outperform the baseline condition in two of the three course quizzes.
