Metacognition and Why it Matters in Education

Metacognition and Why it Matters in Education | Design, Science and Technology | Scoop.it
What is metacognition?


Metacognition, a term that was first defined by John H. Flavell in 1979, is basically thinking about thinking. With metacognition, we become aware of our own learning experiences and the activities we involve ourselves in our paths toward personal and professional growth. We are better able to understand ourselves in the whole process of learning and can develop skills to think about, connect with, and evaluate our learning and interactions each day. But how and why is metacognition important in education?

It has been identified as an essential skill for learner success. Therefore, do we need to design specific lessons focused on metacognition for use in our classrooms each day? And if so, how can we make this happen?

10 Ways to Improve Metacognition in Students

10 Ways to Improve Metacognition in Students | Design, Science and Technology | Scoop.it
Transformative pedagogies, encourage students to be an equal and active participant in their learning. They are not limited to being passive listeners or mere receivers of information, with instructions on how to process the same. Students are expected to consciously understand their learning, the thought processes intertwined with it, while questioning, exploring, and discovering new realms of learning.

Encourage students to recognize their moments of doubts. These are important since teachers can develop them as a group, explore new ideas.
