WHAT IS METACOGNITION? Metacognition is thinking about thinking.
BUT IT IS MORE THAN THAT.... At her core, metacognitive thoughts are, deliberate, planful, intentional, goal- directed, and future-oriented mental behaviors that can be used to accomplish cognitive tasks (Hacker, 1998, p. 3). In other words, Metacognition is the thought work that goes into planning for success.
METACOGNITIVE MAIN POINTS Evaluate your prior knowledge Plan to learn Evaluate your learning
EVALUATE YOUR PRIOR KNOWLEDGE Review the objectives/purpose of the training Write, speak, or discuss everything you might know about the topic Write, speak, or discuss areas that you are currently unaware Evaluate the depth of knowledge (facts, logic, rhetoric) Recognize you may learn more on some areas of prior knowledge
PLAN TO LEARN Deliberate/Intentional Planful Goal Oriented Future Directed
DELIBERATE/INTENTIONAL Quality Time Focused Time Time specifically "set aside" for the task Consistent time Remove distractions
PLANFUL Time Plan when and how long you will study (ex. once a day for 1 hour) Plan more sessions than required (plan for buffer) Method Plan how you will study (ex. read book and take notes, create memory cards, etc., watch videos, research at library) Plan how you will retain what you study (ex. memorize, draw chart, drill, etc.) Plan on how and how often you will review what you studied Plan how you will evaluate your study (Testing, personal evaluation, essay, practical application)
GOAL ORIENTED Specific Motivating Attainable Relevant Trackable
FUTURE DIRECTED Meets your larger goals and ambitions This achievement sets you up for greater work Doesn't focus on your past
EVALUATION Personal Thoughts What went well in my studies? What could have gone better? Learning: What did I master? What did I just learn and still need to master? Could I have done anything different to help me learn better?
