Questions about Meta-cognition

 

  1. Where and in what context have you heard about metacognition? Undergrad/grad school some PD's from the school district.
  2. What is your understanding of metacognition? Thinking about how you are learning.
  3. How, if at all, do you think it relates to Inquiry Instruction? How would it effect lessons and instruction?  What would structures look like that help students build and develop metacognitive skills? It will guide your inquiry instruction to the different styles of your students. Inquiry instruction will be differentiated to meet the needs of your students. The students would do more reflecting about how they learned and communicate what they've learned from others-example: Journal Entries.
  4. Any other thoughts on this topic? None

 

Follow up Questions after the lesson:

  1. What is still unclear about metacognition? Nothing. I enjoyed the discussion today and made connections on how this can be used in the classroom.
  2. What new questions do you have about this topic? None
