The aim was to identify the effects of the application of metacognitive strategies in reading comprehension as a teaching model proposal. After the completion of the treatment, a post-test was applied to the control and the experimental groups, and the results showed a significant positive difference from the results obtained in the pre-test by the experimental group. The statistical tests showed that the metacognitive strategies improved significantly the reading skills in the students who applied them compared to those who did not; therefore, the research hypothesis was accepted.]]></p></abstract>

El objetivo fue identificar los efectos de la aplicación de estrategias metacognitivas en la comprensión de lectura como una propuesta de modelo de enseñanza. Después de completar este tratamiento, se aplicó una prueba posterior al grupo de control y al grupo experimental, y los resultados mostraron una diferencia positiva significativa con respecto a los resultados obtenidos en la prueba previa del grupo experimental. Los análisis estadísticos mostraron que la aplicación de las estrategias metacognitivas mejoró significativamente las habilidades de lectura de los estudiantes en comparación con los que no las aplicaron, por lo tanto, se aceptó la hipótesis de la investigación.]]></p></abstract>
