Abstract This study examines the relationship between metacognitive strategy awareness and reading comprehension among College of Teacher Education students at Apayao State College, addressing the problem of varying comprehension levels influenced by strategy usage. The objective was to identify how these strategies impact reading comprehension and to explore correlations with demographic and socio-economic backgrounds. Employing descriptive-correlational methods and stratified random sampling, the research used a reading comprehension test and the Survey of Reading Strategies questionnaire. Results indicated a prevalent use of problem-solving strategies within metacognitive awareness, positively affecting reading comprehension. Significant differences in comprehension levels—literal and interpretative—were observed among students categorized by campus and course. Furthermore, a correlation was established between metacognitive strategy usage, reading habits, and students' backgrounds. Despite access to learning materials, students demonstrated poor reading habits, with problem-solving strategies being most common. Reading comprehension was higher for literal understanding compared to interpretative and applied comprehension. The study advocates for the integration of metacognitive awareness strategies into language curriculums, a review of course syllabi, and the development of a reading improvement program alongside cultural heritage initiatives. It suggests further research across different courses and variables to enhance understanding of college-level reading comprehension. This investigation contributes to educational strategies by highlighting the importance of metacognitive awareness in improving reading comprehension.
