Metacognition is often used as a nebulous term referring to “thinking about thinking”, but this description obscures its function and utility in learning. Broadly, but more specifically, metacognition involves our knowledge and regulation of our thinking processes. While everyone is metacognitively active to one degree or another, we all have room to grow and benefit from improving our metacognitive skills. In particular, many students persist in predominantly using surface approaches to learning, such as rehearsal and memorization, but could benefit greatly from more elaborative and organizational approaches associated with deeper learning (e.g., transferable and lasting learning). This workshop focuses on understanding metacognition, modules instructors can use to engage students in their metacognitive development, and a tool for providing supportive feedback to students about their approaches to learning. Findings from our NSF-funded research inform this workshop. Workshop Objectives At the completion of this workshop, participants will be able to: define and describe key elements of metacognitive learning, articulate best practices for engaging students in their metacognitive development, adapt instructional materials for the participant’s own teaching context identify types of responses students may give to prompts eliciting self-examination of their approaches to learning formulate constructive and positive formative feedback to support student development as learners explain how seeing students develop as learners can make teaching more rewarding Teaching with Metacognition Cunningham, Matusovich, & Blackowski 2 Prospective Schedule Time Activity 9:00 am Getting Situated 9:10 am Defining Metacognition 9:35 am Overview of NSF Project 9:45 am Experiencing a Metacognition Training Module
