This study aimed at detecting the relationship between metamemory and academic achievement motivation among Yarmouk University students and finding out whether this relationship varies according to student gender and specialization. The sample consisted of (426) undergraduate students chosen randomly from Yarmouk University.The findings of the study revealed a moderate average level of metamemory and a high average level of academic achievement motivation among the students. It also revealed a statistically significant correlation between students' metamemory (and subtests) and their academic achievement motivation. Moreover, the relationship varied on memory contentment, and memory strategies according to student specialization in favor of science specialization. However, no significant difference in the relationship was attributed to student gender.
