This study examines how students aged 12 to 13 verbally express their cognitive processes orally during geography lessons when answering metacognitive questions on a complex task. It builds upon a previous investigation in mathematics and science and adopts its methodology for subject comparison. A content analysis of the responses from 40 learners at a French-speaking school in Belgium shows that although the students respond to the metacognitive questions, their answers often remain unclear and lack detail, especially when describing their strategies.
