Metacognition
Define metacognition.
Describe ways in which teachers can incorporate metacognitive practices into their instruction to develop students' literacy skills.
Apply metacognition to your own work as a student this semester.
What is metacognition
metacognition is having an awareness and understanding of one's own learning and thinking processes.
used to monitor and self-direct learning to ensure success
important for effective readers
critical fore growth, learning, success
What types of questions are needed to promote metacognition?
extneded knowledge
and application of knowledge to other areas
what they do and don’t know
tow they are learning and how to change that
i owuld as students:
why is it important to think about what you already know about something?
what was confusing for them
what methods actually work for you to learn better
strengths, weaknesses, processes, resources
internal monologue
more productive process of thinking
teacher must model these behaviors
When we think metacognitively become conscience of and improve how we:
visualize
connect
question
infer
evaluate
analyze
recall
self-monitor
Metacognitive modeling is when you as a teacher "model the thinking processes involved in your field and sought in your course by being explicit about 'how you start, how you decide what to do first and then next, how you check your work, how you know when you are done' (p. 118)."
Something I may try is to have students think like researchers, telling them this class will be structured to take them through the research process, and they will learn
Know, think, wonder
learning happens when students think hard
we sometimes can be the ones that get in the way of students’ learning process…by how we structure things or intervene (wuote from podcast)
metacogniton basically just means ask good questions about yourself and the learning process and adjusting based off of those things…making learning more active and not just recall
