Purpose: To assess the association between metacognitive awareness of pediatric nursing students and their academic achievement. Design: A descriptive correlational research design was utilized. Setting: Faculty of Nursing, Damanhour University, Egypt. Sampling: A purposive sample of 150 pediatric nursing students in second semester of academic year 2022-2023. Instruments: two instruments were used namely; Metacognitive Awareness Inventory and The Pediatric Nursing Achievement Test. Results: The mean total score of overall total meta-cognitive awareness level was 33.06 + 13.155, while the mean total score of total achievement level was 19.84+4.03. Furthermore, a statistical very highly significant strong positive correlation was found between total students' achievement levels and their overall meta-cognitive awareness, where r = 0.877 and p< 0.001. Conclusion: There is a strong positive association between metacognitive awareness of pediatric nursing students and their academic achievement. Recommendations: Teachers should be trained to pose classroom questions to increase students' metacognition awareness and achievement, as well as the number of course hours in which students are left in real life situations trying to solve problems, use higher level cognitive skills in Bloom Taxonomy and use their reflective thinking skills should be increased.

Objective: assess self-directed learning readiness level and personality traits among nursing students. Setting: All academic departments at the Faculty of Nursing, Alexandria University. Subjects: comprised of 350 nursing students selected randomly in the first semesters of the academic year 2020-2021. Tools: Two tools were used to collect data 1-Self Rating Scale of Self-Directed Learning to assess the level of nursing students' self-directed learning readiness. 2-Big Five Personality Inventory to assess nursing students' personality traits. Results: The majority of nursing students (86.0%) have a high level of self-directed learning readiness while the rest (14%) of them have a moderate level. Furthermore, they have a higher mean score of agreeableness and conscientiousness personality traits and followed by openness, extraversion, and finally neuroticism. Also, it was observed that neuroticism of them has a significant negative correlation with total self-directed learning. Awareness and interpersonal skills aspects of SDL were positively correlated with openness and extraversion personality traits respectively. Conclusion: Self-directed learning (SDL) cannot be assessed without considering personality traits among nursing students. Thus personality traits assessment is considered the cornerstone of SDL among nursing students that affect their learning preferences or desires for accepting responsibility for their learning process. Recommendation: Educational workshops should be conducted for all nursing educators about the assessment of students' SDL readiness and personality traits.
