Description
Metacognition is a potentially powerful yet underutilized mechanism for helping undergraduates succeed in science. Students with strong metacognitive skills can identify concepts they do not understand and select appropriate study strategies to learn those ideas. Metacognitive students know how to implement selected strategies, and they can modify their approaches based on experience. These skills can have a positive impact on student learning and achievement, but many undergraduates have not yet developed these abilities. In this interactive session we will discuss ways we can help students develop their metacognition by giving them opportunities to practice using metacognitive skills. Fostering metacognition during the pandemic may be especially beneficial because students are primed to use metacognitive skills when they face new challenges.
