What is Metacognition?

• Metacognition involves thinking about one’s

own cognitive processeso Thinking about one’s thinking, learning,

reasoning, problem solving

• Metacognition is essential for effective learning in complex situations

Advantages:o Enhances and enriches the learning experience

o Applying metacognitive strategies such as self-awareness and self monitoring is to develop independent learners who can control their own learning and learn how to learn for life“

o Provides self-monitoring, which is a step-by-step process of evaluation during the learning process.

o Develops higher learning and problem solving skills

Disadvantages:

o Poor self-esteem

o Difficulty in problem solving

o Poor reading comprehension

o Poor language and communication skills

o Difficulty in obtaining success in society

Effective learning involves

• Planning and goal-setting

• Monitoring one’s progress

• Adapting as needed

The ideal: Self-regulated learning (SRL)

Plan Set Goal

Evaluate Adapt

Apply Strategies

Monitor

Task constraints Beliefs about learning

Knowing one’s strengths & weaknesses

Motivation

How to Put Metacognition in Process for Teachers

1. Recognize the key points of Metacognition: think "multiple representations" for critical thinking -- not just words, but learning experiences through a set of activities that help students think about their learning

2. Seek "linguistic intelligence" (word smart): deal with improving the language for imparting knowledge, accurate word use, selection of phrases, and pauses (such as wait time for student reaction and to answer questions) in oral and written forms, where strategies like thinking aloud while performing a task include self-questioning

3. Evaluate "logical intelligence" (reasoning smart): answer a question using a plan and steps -- show comprehension by explaining the concept, applying It

4. Project "spatial intelligence" (visually smart): instruct students to use their abilities to create two- and three-dimensional pictures (in the mind) for the concrete or abstract subject to apply and transfer it 

5. Use Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence ("body smart"): physical action and interaction, physical stimulus and robust body activities are the best pathways to help them learn. Acting out learning as much as possible, activities to walk around when they are learning.

6. Know your "intra-personal intelligence" (be self smart): get on useful terms with oneself (self-motivate, plan, start/take initiative, be industrious/follow-through, finish, report out).

Setting the target

1. Changing students’ beliefs about learning

2. Teaching planning and goal setting

3. Giving practice at monitoring/adapting

Application

1. The student should be able to share their thoughts

2. The student will be able to reach critical thinking

3. The student will be able to develops higher learning

The strongest factor to success is self- esteem: Believing you

can do it, believing you deserve it, believing you will get it.
