Metacognition and Reflective Journaling

What’s Current Although some students naturally possess the ability to self-reflect, self-assess and monitor their comprehension, many students require guidance and explicit instruction in metacognition.

What is Metacognition? ● “thinking about thinking” ● The ability for learners to understand their own learning process ● Can and should be modelled (cognitive modelling aka think aloud) ● Automaticity is the goal

Why Teach It? “Metacognition fosters independent learning by providing personal insight into one’s own thinking. Such awareness can lead to flexible and confident problem solving as well as feelings of self- efficacy and pride” (Paris & Winograd, 1990). ● To increase involvement in learning and personal ownership of learning ● To enhance problem-solving skills ● To foster reflective, creative interaction in a group ● To fine-tune critical thinking skills ● Applicable across disciplines ● Emotional as well as academic skill ● Students learn to self-coach

Reflective Journaling Here are some ways you can respond: ● What did you picture in your minds? ● What did you know/think/wonder? ● What did you find interesting? ● Did you make any connections? ● What’s special about Stephanie? ● Make a prediction. *You may record your answers in your notebooks or using the Paper App.
