  2. Answer the following questions: • 1. What do you know about how you personally learn a new concept? • 2. What are some tools that you employ to learn? • 3. Why do you think that these tools are effective for you?

  3. Self-Assessment Activity • 1. Did you understand the directions for the assignment? • 2. What were you thinking when you worked on the assignment? • 3. How would you evaluate your ability to concentrate on the assignment?

  4. What is the meta- in metacognition? • After • Beyond • Adjacent • Behind

  5. What is cognition? • Thinking • Something known • Awareness

  6. What is Metacognition? • Thinking about thinking • Self-knowledge about your learning style • Monitoring your own learning • Knowing what you do and do not know

  7. Fundamentals of Meta-cognition (MC) cont. Assess ones own knowledge and thinking process (Joseph, 2010) MC is supported by Theory Practice

  8. MC in Theory Cognitive theory suggests students are able to: Guide learning of complex tasks Monitor progress Change course Identify and asses intellect

  9. MC in Theory (cont). • MC Theory can influence educational practice • Young learners • Adult learners

  10. MC in Practice Examples: Student questionnaires Reflective thinking Reciprocal teaching

  11. MC in Practice Ex. Reciprocal Teaching Reading Technique Students create their own questions Student uses self-teaching Student has insight on own learning style

  12. MC Practices Schools utilize MC for problem solving in: Primary education Secondary education A variety of Subjects

  13. MC in Practice (cont.) Problem Solving in a variety of Subjects Math Science Foreign Language Acquisition

  14. MC in Foreign Language • MC is related to the brain • Language acquisition is related to the brain • MC can help in foreign language acquisition

  15. John Flavell: Metacognition Theory • Foundation Researcher • Influenced by Piaget

  16. MC in Mathematics and Human Development • MC used in Math learning • Processing Speed • Executive Functions of the brain

  17. Metacognition • Processes • Strategies

  18. Metacognitive Monitoring • Knowledge • Experiences • Tasks and Goals • Strategies or Actions

  19. Examples • Knowing you know something but… • Coffee shop vs. Library

  20. Metacognitive Strategies • Awareness of self • Planning and Goal Setting • Self-Monitor and Reflecting • Adaptability

  21. Learners • Passive & Dependent • Assertive & Independent

  22. Uses in Teaching • Student Self-Regulate • Assess one’s Strategies

  23. Learning Strategies • Pre-reading • Note taking • Rewriting notes • Worked examples

  24. More Metacognitive Strategies • Connections • Self-evaluating • Choosing cognitive strategies

  25. Learning Strategies • Flash cards • Outlining • Reflecting • Self-testing

  26. Why are Strategies Important? • Confidence builders • Independent Learners • Self-regulation • Extrinsic Motivation
