Ens. Pesqui. Educ. Ciênc. [online]. 2020, vol.22, e19937.  Epub Dec 11, 2020. ISSN 1983-2117.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1983-21172020210144.

This article sought to analyze the metacognitive perception of student researchers resulting from the elaboration and development of research projects. 133 students from Basic Education and ten teachers participated in the study, approached at a science fair at a community university. Data were collected using a Likert questionnaire and recorded interviews, analyzed using a phenomenological method. It was evidenced that the evocation of metacognitive thinking was present throughout the research process, allowing students to identify their knowledge and self-evaluate themselves, and thus obtain cognitive gains. The results presented may lead to a better understanding of the phenomenon studied, especially in terms of understanding the potential that teaching and learning has through the elaboration and development of research projects.

Keywords : Student researcher; Research project; Metacognition.
