Know thyself: Development of metacognition in childhood and adolescence

这个项目旨在提高我们对儿童和青少年对自己思想和行为的洞察力或元认知发展的理解。元认知的个体差异影响学习，并导致在许多国家（包括澳大利亚）观察到的教育成就差距。通过结合现有的国际队列数据分析和最先进的适合发展的神经影像学方法，该项目有望创造新的基础研究知识。一个预期的好处是制定和评价一项循证干预措施，以提高中小学生的元认知技能，提高他们的数学成绩。

This project aims to advance our understanding of the development of children and adolescents’ insight into their own thoughts and behaviours, or metacognition. Individual differences in metacognition impact learning and contribute to the educational achievement gap observed in many countries, including Australia. By combining analysis of existing international cohort data and state-of-the art developmentally appropriate neuroimaging methodology, the project is expected to create new basic research knowledge. An intended benefit is the development and evaluation of an evidence-based intervention to enhance the metacognitive skills of primary and secondary school pupils and improve their achievement in mathematics.
