Chapter 8
Consider a lesson plan you might use. Which metacognitive skills/abilities are involved as students gain facility/knowledge in this domain?
Think of an activity or lesson component that explicitly teaches one or more metacognitive and one or more problem solving skills.
I am going to consider a lesson that is one of my favorites. In this lesson we would be learning how to tell time. To make the students aware and familiar with clocks I would refer to the clocks in the classroom often. I would say things like " San, please let me know when it is 10:35 and time to line up at the door." This would clue the students into identifying that reading a clock is important information to learn. After teaching the lesson I would then make each student a paper watch to wear. We would walk around the classroom and practice telling time by reading each others watches. This is a type of learning strategy. My approach to using metacognition skill is to use a variety or learning strategies and help to students to recognize how important telling time is so that they will be motivated to further their understanding.
