  Introduction: The relationship of meta-cognition as a common concept in pedagogy, with the learning process is undeniable. Pedagogical researchers are highly interested in the type and level of learners' required knowledge. In order to enable learners to have an independent reflection in confronting with various problems, educational systems are obliged to emphasize on meta-cognitive learning and "learning how to learn". The capacity to gain cognition and control over the context to be learnt is known as meta-cognition and plays an important role in improvement and development of cognitive functions and can develop learning skills. Meta- cognition plays a significant role in successful learning, so that more powerful cognition skills of learners will lead to more success in learning. In other words, learner should play an active role in learning process and learn to evaluate his learning process and apply new styles of learning in case of any failure in former ones.

Conclusion: Teaching learners the meta-cognitive skills plays a significant role in empowerment of students’ learning efficacy therefore, teachers have to focus on this point in order to turn students into active learners.
