#Education #Teaching_Strategy #Metacognition #Classroom
Hi teachers, we’re back with our teaching strategy series. And this week, we’re tackling metacognition in the classroom. Research has shown that metacognition can be an extremely effective teaching strategy, supporting learning in helping students gain additional learning outcomes of about 6 months.
The results are excellent! But what is metacognition and how can you apply it to your classroom? Read ahead as we break it down for you below.
Metacognition refers to a learner’s ability to think about their learning process – monitor and evaluate it to improve it and resolve challenges. It brings with it self-awareness, critical thinking, and the ability to solve problems.
How is it useful for your learners? It can improve your students’ basic cognitive abilities, from memory to task completion. And here’s the best bit. Since metacognition is really ‘thinking about thinking’, it can be applied across all subjects.
Here are the stages to using metacognition in your classrooms.
With these three steps, you would have started introducing metacognition in your classrooms. Watch as our students learn how to think about thinking and learn about learning for better results. Let us know your feedback below.
