Metacognition and Why it Matters in Education

Metacognition and Why it Matters in Education | Design, Science and Technology | Scoop.it
What is metacognition?


Metacognition, a term that was first defined by John H. Flavell in 1979, is basically thinking about thinking. With metacognition, we become aware of our own learning experiences and the activities we involve ourselves in our paths toward personal and professional growth. We are better able to understand ourselves in the whole process of learning and can develop skills to think about, connect with, and evaluate our learning and interactions each day. But how and why is metacognition important in education?

It has been identified as an essential skill for learner success. Therefore, do we need to design specific lessons focused on metacognition for use in our classrooms each day? And if so, how can we make this happen?

Cricket is life…Life is Cricket
Cricket is life…Life is cricket : If you are living in a country called India, I am sure you could relate to any of the two emotional phrases in the title.

The Golden Age of Teaching Yourself Anything | #Autodidact

The Golden Age of Teaching Yourself Anything | #Autodidact | Design, Science and Technology | Scoop.it

There are several components, but the real shocker is that more of us aren't embracing the current age of access to mastery of any topic. But that may not be so surprising—most of us were taught to be passive learners, to just "get through" school. It's easy to be lazy. The rewards of becoming an autodidact, though, include igniting inner fires, making new connections to knowledge and skills you already have, advancing in your career, meeting kindred spirits, and cultivating an overall zest for life and its riches.

I've always felt 'different' because I genuinely love to learn, and most times it doesn't matter what...a combination of new experiences, new connections and new knowledge - maybe I just have a fondness for 'new'?
