Metacognition and Development


Researches such as that of Fang and Cox showed that metacognitive awareness was evident in preschoolers and n students as young as eight years old.Children already may have the capacity to be more aware and reflective of their own learnng.

Below are examples of teaching strategies to develop metacognition:

^ Have student have monitor their own learning a nd thinking( examle: have student monitor a peer's learning/thinking/behaving in dyad)
^ Have students learn study strategies (e.g., SQ3R, SQ4R).
^Have students make predictions about information to be presented next based on what they have read.
^ Have student relate ideas to existing knowledge structures. (mportant to have relevant knowledge structures well learn).
^ Have students develop questions; ( Have you asked a good question today?)
^ Help students to know when to ask to help. ( must be able to self monitor; require the students to know how they have attempted to deal with the problem with their own).
^ Show students how to transfer knowledge, attitudes,values, skills to other situation or tasks.
