Abstract
The aim of this research was to establish the correlation between teachers' mental characteristics and students' metacognitive strategies. Teachers'' mental characteristics were examined through: positive emotional reactions, negative emotional reactions and teachers' indifference. The issue is about the students' estimations of teachers' mental characteristics. Metacognitive strategies which are explored are: consciousness of students' own cognitive function, planning and monitoring of the same. Research was realized in two elementary schools in the area of East Sarajevo, using the sample of the seventh, eight and ninth-grade students. The results show that the emotional positive reaction is the only variable which appears as a positive predictor in realizing of all metacognitive strategies.
