It is widely recognized that metacognition is an important mediator for successful and high-level learning, especially in
higher education. Nevertheless, a majority of higher education students possess insufficient metacognitive knowledge and regulation
skills to self-regulate their learning adequately. This study explores the potential of reciprocal peer tutoring to promote
both university students’ metacognitive knowledge and their metacognitive regulation skills. The study was conducted in a
naturalistic higher education setting, involving 67 students tutoring each other during a complete semester. A multi-method
pretest–posttest design was used combining a self-report questionnaire, assessing students’ metacognitive knowledge and their
perceived metacognitive skilfulness, with the analysis of think-aloud protocols, revealing students’ actual use of metacognitive
strategies. Results indicate no significant pretest to posttest differences in students’ metacognitive knowledge, nor in their
perception of metacognitive skill use. In contrast, significant changes are observed in students’ actual metacognitive regulation.
At posttest, students demonstrate significantly more frequent and more varied use of metacognitive regulation, especially
during the orientation, monitoring, and evaluation phases. Furthermore, our findings point to an increase in more profound
and higher-quality strategy use at posttest. 相似文献

The main objective of this study is to identify the development of students’ self-reported use of metacognitive learning strategies
during high school. Therefore, the study analyses the differential development patterns of 1,432 students, between grade 10
and 12, in a longitudinal sample. The results suggest that, from a global perspective, there is no development of students’
self-reported use of metacognitive learning strategies during high school. The expected gender-specific differences in favour
of female students are replicated in this sample. However, the self-reported use of monitoring and evaluation strategies tends
to converge between genders during high school, whereas the differences in the self-reported use of planning strategies remain
stable. The consequences for the understanding of metacognitive development are discussed. 相似文献

This study investigated the students’ learning process of the concept of concentration at the elementary school level in Taiwan.
The influence of different representational types on the process of proportional reasoning was also explored. The participants
included nineteen third-grade and eighteen fifth-grade students. Eye-tracking technology was used in conducting the experiment.
The materials were adapted from Noelting’s (1980a) “orange juice test” experiment. All problems on concentration included three stages (the intuitive, the concrete operational,
and the formal operational), and each problem was displayed in iconic and symbolic representations. The data were collected
through eye-tracking technology and post-test interviews. The results showed that the representational types influenced students’
solving of concentration problems. Furthermore, the data on eye movement indicated that students used different strategies
or rules to solve concentration problems at the different stages of the problems with different representational types. This
study is intended to contribute to the understanding of elementary school students’ problem-solving strategies and the usability
of eye-tracking technology in related studies. 相似文献

In the framework of the SAL (Students’ approaches to learning) poosition, the learning experience (approaches to learning
and study orchestrations) of 572 high school students was explored, examining its interrelationships with some personal and
familial variables. Three major results emerged. First, links were found between family’s intellectual climate and students’
approaches to learning, in particular with Deep appraoch: The better the family’s intellectual climate the higher student’
scores on Deep approach. Second, along with general intelligence, these approaches predicted students’ academic achievement,
higher grades being obtained by these students who scored lower in Surface learning approach and higher in Deep learning approach.
Three, students from the four study orchestrations reported in previous research (two displaying conceptual consonance: Deep
and Surface approaches, and the other two conceptual dissonance: high-high and low-low, in both Deep and Surface approaches)
showed different profiles in some variables (e.g., metacognitive learning strategies, family’s intellectual climate, academic
achievement), worse scores being obtained by those who orchestrated their study either in surface or in conceptually dissonant
ways. These relationships shed more light on the nature of high school students ‘learning experience, and help to provide
an integrated view of students’ webs of experience. 相似文献

The quality of teachers’ knowledge about how people learn influences students’ learning outcomes. Similarly, the quality of
students’ knowledge about how they learn influences their engagement in self-regulated learning and consequently, their learning
achievement. There is a gap between research findings that support these two premises and teaching–learning practices in classrooms.
In this paper we describe attempts to reduce this gap. In Study 1 we surveyed early adolescent students’ cognitive and metacognitive
strategy use and demonstrated that students’ cognitive and metacognitive strategy knowledge has substantial room for improvement.
In Studies 2 and 3 we collaborated with teachers to embed explicit cognitive and metacognitive strategy instruction, using
learning protocols, into regular class lessons. Studies 2 and 3 showed that the learning protocols slipped readily into teachers’
typical lesson designs, scaffolded teachers’ delivery of strategy instruction, and scaffolded some students’ acquisition of
strategy knowledge, although progress was sometimes slow. Recommendations are presented for supporting teachers and students
to engage with cognitive and metacognitive strategy instruction. 相似文献

In this study, we explored the structural relationship between the students’ perceived use of cognitive and metacognitive reading strategies (CMRS) and their reading comprehension of geometry proof (RCGP), and we also examined the differences in students’ perceived use of reading strategies among the poor, moderate and good comprehenders. A sample of ninth graders (N = 533) completed a RCGP test and then the CMRS questionnaire. In the exploratory factor analysis with one subsample (n = 150), principal component analysis was used to extract factors of CMRS use for improving the CMRS instrument. Another subsample of students (n = 370) participated in the study on the confirmatory factor analysis with structural equation modelling method. Results revealed that the use of metacognitive reading strategies exerts an executive function over that of cognitive reading strategies, which directly influenced students’ RCGP. Our interesting findings were that good comprehenders tended to employ more metacognitive reading strategies for planning and monitoring comprehension and more cognitive reading strategies for elaborating proof compared with the moderate comprehenders, who in turn employed these strategies more often compared with the poor comprehenders. 相似文献

In this theoretical paper, I present a short critical review of research on calibration. Based on this conceptual analysis
I argue for two extensions of this construct: In addition to traditional applications, the methodology should be transferred
to also measure calibration between students’ metacognitive control processes (traditionally, only students’ metacognitive
judgments were considered) and important external criteria (traditionally, judgments were only compared to students’ own performance).
As an illustrative example, one application context will be highlighted where these proposed extensions would alleviate potential
problems with the traditional conceptualization: While students’ idiosyncratic task definitions constitute unwanted error
variance in the traditional account it would be possible to investigate them as a primary research question within this extended
notion. More specifically, it would be possible to investigate how well students’ learning processes match objective task
demands. I will put forward theoretical and empirical arguments in favor of these suggestions. 相似文献

This exploratory case study examined in depth the studying activities of eight students across two studying episodes, and
compared traces of actual studying activities to self-reports of self-regulated learning. Students participated in a 2-hour
activity using our gStudy software to complete a course assignment. We used log file data to construct profiles of self-regulated
learning activity in four ways: (a) frequency of studying events, (b) patterns of studying activity, (c) timing and sequencing
of events, and (d) content analyses of students’ notes and summaries. Findings indicate that students’ self-reports may not
calibrate to actual studying activity. Analyses of log file traces of studying activities provide important information for
defining strategies and sequences of fine-grained studying actions. We contrast these analytic methods and illustrate how
trace-based profiles of students’ self-regulated studying inform models of metacognitive monitoring, evaluation, and self-regulated
adaptation. 相似文献

An implication of the current research on self-regulation is to implement the promotion of self-regulated learning in schools.
Teachers can promote self-regulated learning either directly by teaching learning strategies or indirectly by arranging a
learning environment that enables students to practise self-regulation. This study investigates teachers’ direct and indirect
promotion of self-regulated learning and its relation to the development of students’ performance. Twenty German mathematics
teachers with their overall 538 students (grade 9) were videotaped for a three-lesson unit on the Pythagorean Theorem. Students’
mathematics performance was tested several times before and after the observed lessons. A low-inferent coding system was applied
to assess the teachers’ implicit or explicit instruction of cognitive strategies (e.g., organisation), metacognitive strategies
(e.g., planning), and motivational strategies (e.g., resource management). High-inferent ratings were used to assess features
of the learning environment that foster self-regulation. Results reveal that a great amount of strategy teaching takes place
in an implicit way, whereas explicit strategy teaching and supportive learning environment are rare. The instruction of organisation
strategies and some features of the learning environment (constructivism, transfer) relate positively to students’ performance
development. In contrast to implicit strategy instruction, explicit strategy instruction was associated with a gain in performance.
These results reveal a discrepancy between the usefulness of explicit strategy instruction and its rare occurrence in classrooms. 相似文献

We explored relations between students’ epistemic beliefs, metacognitive monitoring and recall performance in the context
of learning physics through metaphor. Eighty-three university undergraduate students completed questionnaires designed to
measure their epistemic beliefs and prior knowledge about Newtonian physics. Students were epistemically profiled as rational,
empirical, or metaphorical in their approaches to knowing. Using a think-aloud protocol, students read a text on Newton’s
First and Third Laws. The text included metaphors as examples of the various laws described. Results revealed that students
profiled as metaphorical engaged in more metacognitive processing compared to students profiled as rational or empirical.
Moreover, path analyses revealed that metacognitive monitoring positively predicted recall performance. Results challenge
Muis’ (2008) consistency hypothesis; the ways in which knowledge is represented in text may be the linking factor for relations between metacognitive monitoring
and epistemic beliefs rather than the underlying epistemology of the domain. 相似文献

The study presented in this paper seeks to investigate the impact of authenticity on the students’ disposition to make necessary
real world considerations in their word problem solving. The aim is also to gather information about the extent to which different
reasons for the students’ behaviors are responsible for not providing solutions that are consistent with the ‘real’ situations
described in the word problems. The study includes both written solutions to word problems and interview data from 161 5th
graders. The results show an impact of authenticity on both the presence of ‘real life’ considerations in the solution process
and on the proportion of written solutions that were really affected by these considerations. The students’ frequent use of
superficial solution strategies and their beliefs about mathematical word problem solving were found to be the main reasons
for providing solutions that are inconsistent with the situations described in the word problems. 相似文献

In the past decade, there has been an increased emphasis on the preparation of teachers who can effectively engage students
in meaningful mathematics with technology tools. This study presents a closer look at how three prospective teachers interpreted
and developed in their role of facilitating students’ mathematical problem solving with a technology tool. A cycle of planning–experience–reflection
was repeated twice during an undergraduate course to allow the prospective teachers to change their strategies when working
with two different groups of students. Case study methods were used to identify and analyze critical events that occurred
throughout the different phases of the study and how these events may have influenced the prospective teachers’ work with
students. Looking across the cases, several themes emerged. The prospective teachers (1) used their problem solving approaches
to influence their pedagogical decisions; (2) desired to ask questions that would guide students in their solution strategies;
(3) recognized their own struggle in facilitating students’ problem solving and focused on improving their interactions with
students; (4) assumed the role of an explainer for some portion of their work with students; (5) used technological representations
to promote students’ mathematical thinking or focus their attention; and (6) used the technology tools in ways consistent
with the nature of their interactions and perceived role with students. The implications inform the development of an expanded
learning trajectory for what we might expect as prospective teachers develop an understanding of how to teach mathematics
in technology-rich environments. 相似文献

The relations among students’ motivational beliefs, cognitive processes, and academic achievement were investigated. A 51-item
questionnaire together with a mathematics achievement test was administered to 459 fifth graders in Korean elementary school
mathematics classrooms. Results indicated that, in general, students’ cognitive processes related closely to competence beliefs,
task values, and achievement goals, and more importantly their success or failure in mathematics achievement was closely linked
to competence beliefs, performance-avoidance goals, and persistence strategies. Positive evidence of performance-approach
goals was observed in math learning relative to task goals. As expected, performance-avoidance goals turned out to be detrimental
to students’ math learning. These findings are generally congruent with the motivational theories and support the position
that students should be encouraged to adopt task goals and actively involve themselves in math class activities. However,
it also behooves us to recognize the potential benefits of performance-approach goals in different cultural contexts, such
as the Korean elementary school math classrooms. 相似文献

The goal of the study reported here is to gain a better understanding of the role of belief systems in the approach phase
to mathematical problem solving. Two students of high academic performance were selected based on a previous exploratory study
of 61 students 12–13 years old. In this study we identified different types of approaches to problems that determine the behavior
of students in the problem-solving process. The research found two aspects that explain the students’ approaches to problem
solving: (1) the presence of a dualistic belief system originating in the student’s school experience; and (2) motivation
linked to beliefs regarding the difficulty of the task. Our results indicate that there is a complex relationship between
students’ belief systems and approaches to problem solving, if we consider a wide variety of beliefs about the nature of mathematics
and problem solving and motivational beliefs, but that it is not possible to establish relationships of causality between
specific beliefs and problem-solving activity (or vice versa). 相似文献

This paper presents a study on mathematical problem solving in third-grade pupils. The relationship between mathematics, metacognition
and intelligence was investigated in children with (n = 191) and without mathematical learning disabilities (n = 268). A significant relationship was found between prediction, evaluation, intelligence, procedural and mathematical fact
retrieval skills in children without mathematical learning disabilities. In the children with mathematical learning disabilities
a relationship was found between metacognitive and procedural skills. No such relationship was found between intelligence
and metacognition or between metacognition and mathematical fact retrieval skills. In addition it was investigated if children
with mathematical learning disabilities had less adequate metacognitive skills than peers without learning problems. At group
level significant differences were found between both groups. However on analyzing these results further, it was found that
four out of five children with combined mathematical learning disabilities, half of the children with procedural disabilities
and only 5% of the children with a retrieval deficiency had low metacognitive skills. Furthermore, metacognitive problems
were found in one out of five children without learning disabilities. Moreover, a majority of the children with mathematical
learning disabilities and inadequate metacognitive skills had problems with prediction and evaluation skills. Most third graders
with low metacognitive skills only appeared to have problems predicting the level of difficulty of tasks. Inaccurate evaluations
were found on a more regular basis in children with mathematical learning disabilities and inadequate metacognitive skills
as opposed to the sample of children with inadequate metacognitive skills but without learning difficulties, where their occurrence
was rather a one off. The implications of this study for diagnosis and treatment will be discussed later in this paper. 相似文献

Prior research has shown that tutored problem solving with intelligent software tutors is an effective instructional method,
and that worked examples are an effective complement to this kind of tutored problem solving. The work on the expertise reversal
effect suggests that it is desirable to tailor the fading of worked examples to individual students’ growing expertise levels.
One lab and one classroom experiment were conducted to investigate whether adaptively fading worked examples in a tutored
problem-solving environment can lead to higher learning gains. Both studies compared a standard Cognitive Tutor with two example-enhanced
versions, in which the fading of worked examples occurred either in a fixed manner or in a manner adaptive to individual students’
understanding of the examples. Both experiments provide evidence of improved learning results from adaptive fading over fixed
fading over problem solving. We discuss how to further optimize the fading procedure matching each individual student’s changing
knowledge level. 相似文献

“Accepting Emotional Complexity”: A Socio-Constructivist Perspective on the Role of Emotions in the Mathematics Classroom 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Peter Op ’t Eynde Erik De Corte Lieven Verschaffel 《Educational Studies in Mathematics》2006,63(2):193-207
A socio-constructivist account of learning and emotions stresses the situatedness of every learning activity and points to the close interactions between cognitive, conative and affective factors in students’ learning and problem solving. Emotions are perceived as being constituted by the dynamic interplay of cognitive, physiological, and motivational processes in a specific context. Understanding the role of emotions in the mathematics classroom then implies understanding the nature of these situated processes and the way they relate to students’ problem-solving behaviour. We will present data from a multiple-case study of 16 students out of 4 different junior high classes that aimed to investigate students’ emotional processes when solving a mathematical problem in their classrooms. After identifying the different emotions and analyzing their relations to motivational and cognitive processes, the relation with students’ mathematics-related beliefs will be examined. We will specifically use Frank’s case to illustrate how the use of a thoughtful combination of a variety of different research instruments enabled us to gather insightful data on the role of emotions in mathematical problem solving. 相似文献

Recent research on metacognition points out the crucial role of on-line methods when endeavouring to conduct valid assessments
of metacognitive skills. Presently, different on-line methods are used, however, it is still a question of research whether
and how they affect students’ learning behaviour and learning outcome. Thus, the aim of this study is to quasi-experimentally
analyse the effects of two on-line verbalisation methods on learning performance. By means of the thinking-aloud method, students
in one experimental group (n = 24) were instructed to read and think aloud during learning. With the reflection when prompted method, students of another
experimental group (n = 24) were prompted at each navigational step to reflect on the reasons why they chose specific information. Students in
the control group (n = 22) learned without being instructed to verbalise. All three groups were treated identically except for the different use
of verbalisation assessment methods. The students’ task was to learn the concepts and principles of operant conditioning presented
in a hypermedium within 30 min. The students’ learning sessions were videotaped and learning performance was obtained immediately
afterwards. Based on Ericsson and Simon’s (Protocol analysis: Verbal reports as data, MIT, Cambridge, 1993) model, no performance differences between the thinking aloud and the control group were hypothesised.
However, prompting students for metacognitive reflection should affect learning performance positively, which is confirmed
by the results only in tendency for transfer performance. Implications for on-line assessment methods of metacognitive skill
will be discussed. 相似文献

The main objective of this study is (a) to explore the relationship among cognitive style (field dependence/independence),
working memory, and mathematics anxiety and (b) to examine their effects on students’ mathematics problem solving. A sample
of 161 school girls (13–14 years old) were tested on (1) the Witkin’s cognitive style (Group Embedded Figure Test) and (2)
Digit Span Backwards Test, with two mathematics exams. Results obtained indicate that the effect of field dependency, working
memory, and mathematics anxiety on students' mathematical word problem solving was significant. Moreover, the correlation
among working memory capacity, cognitive style, and students’ mathematics anxiety was significant. Overall, these findings
could help to provide some practical implications for adapting problem solving skills and effective teaching/learning. 相似文献
