AbstractThe purpose of this study is a survey of the relationship between cognitive and metacognitive strategies and information seeking behavior among the faculty members in Agricultural Research, Education and Extension Organization (AREEO). The method of this study is descriptive survey – relationship and data are collected by 2 questionnaires; one is learning and studying strategies questionnaire and the other is information seeking behavior questionnaires. The research community consists of all faculty members in Agricultural Research, Education and Extension Organization (N= 2012) and the sample of this study size is determined by Morgan table (N=322) and probability stratified sampling is used as a sampling method. Descriptive and analytical statistical methods are used to study the questions. The results indicate that the correlation coefficient between cognitive strategies with information seeking behavior among the faculty members is r=0/065, and according to p=0/24, that means, there is not a significant relationship. The correlation coefficient between metacognitive strategies with information seeking behavior among the faculty members is r=0/128 and accordingly the value is p=0/02, that means there is statistically significant relationship. Finally, this study indicates that increasing metacognitive strategies among the faculty members can increase their information seeking behavior.
