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 research questions addressed in this study were: what types of epistemological beliefs do elementary students have; what
types of metacognition do elementary students have; and what are the relationships among students’ perceived characteristics
of constructivist learning environment, metacognition, and epistemological beliefs. A total of 626 students enrolled in sixth,
seventh, and eight grades of nine elementary public schools located in Ankara, Turkey constituted the participants of this
study. Constructivist learning environment survey (CLES), Junior metacognitive awareness inventory (Jr. MAI), and Schommer
epistemological belief questionnaire (EB) were administered to students. Factor Analysis of Jr. MAI revealed both knowledge
of cognition and regulation of cognition items were loaded into one factor. Confirmatory factor analysis of EB revealed a
four factor structure namely innate ability, quick learning, omniscient authority, and certain knowledge. Regression analyses
revealed that metacognition and omniscient authority were significant predictors of personal relevance dimension of CLES.
Metacognition was found as the only predictor of the student negotiation. Innate ability and metacognition significantly contributed
to uncertainty. This study revealed that the elementary students with different mastery levels hold different epistemological
beliefs and multi-faceted nature of elementary school students’ metacognition was seemed to be supported with this study.
It was found that metacognition contributed to model more than epistemological beliefs for all three dimensions of CLES. 相似文献

We know that metacognitive students are successful in school (Sternberg Instructional Science 26:127–140, 1998). However, despite the recognition of the role of metacognition in student success, limited research has been done to explore
teachers’ explicit awareness of their metacognition and their ability to think about, talk about, and write about their thinking
(Zohar Teaching and Teacher Education 15:413-429, 1999). Therefore, the current study investigates teachers’ understanding of metacognition and their pedagogical understanding
of metacognition, and the nature of what it means to teach students to be metacognitive. One hundred-five graduate students
in education participated in this study. The data analysis results, using mixed research method, suggest that the participant’s
metacognitive knowledge had a significant impact on his/her pedagogical understanding of metacognition. The results revealed
that teachers who have a rich understanding of metacognition report that teaching students to be metacognitive requires a
complex understanding of both the concept of metacognition and metacognitive thinking strategies. 相似文献

Posing questions about an article might improve one’s knowledge—a cognitive function, or monitor one’s thought processes—a
metacognitive function. This study focuses on guided question posing while using a metacognitive strategy by 12th grade honors
chemistry students. We investigated the ways by which the metacognitive strategy affected students’ skills to pose complex
questions and to analyze them according to a specially designed taxonomy. Our learning unit, Case-based computerized laboratories, emphasizes learning through chemical case studies, accompanied by tasks, that call for posing questions to which the answer
cannot be found in the text. Teachers equipped their students with a metacognitive strategy for assessing the quality of their
own questions and characterizing them according to a three-component taxonomy: content, thinking level, and chemistry understanding
levels. The participants were 793 experimental and 138 comparison chemistry students. Research instruments included interviews
and case-based-questionnaires. Interviews with students revealed that using the metacognitive strategy the students had been
taught, they were capable of analyzing the questions they generated with the taxonomy. The questionnaires showed that students
significantly improved their question posing skill, as well as the complexity level of the questions they posed. A significant
difference was found in favor of the experimental group students. Stimulating students to generate complex questions with
a metacognitive strategy in mind enabled them to be aware of their own cognitive process and to self-regulate it with respect
to the learning task. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to examine metacognition in computer-supported collaborative problem solving. The subjects of the
study were 13-year-old Finnish secondary school students (N = 16). The Knowledge Forum learning environment was used to support student pairs’ problem-solving task involving polygons
in a geometry course. The data consist of the student pairs’ posted computer notes (n = 95). To examine metacognition in a social context in the networked discussions, the features and patterns of networked
interaction, the metacognitive content of the computer notes and their relations were examined. To examine the features of
networked interaction, the social network analysis measures were used. The patterns of networked interaction were displayed
with the multidimensional scaling technique. In the analysis, metacognitive contents of the computer notes were categorized
as metacognitive knowledge, metacognitive skills, and not metacognitive. Further, with the correspondence analysis, we examined how the student pairs’ metacognitive activity was distributed. The
results of the study revealed that the metacognitive activity varied among participants, although some aspects of metacognition
such as planning were never encountered. It was found that there is a relation between metacognitive activity and the features
of interaction. The student pairs who monitored and evaluated the ongoing discussions had a strategically optimal position
in the communication network. 相似文献

The issues of metacognitive scaffolding in science education (MSiSE) have become increasingly popular and important. Differing from previous content reviews, this study proposes a series of quantitative computer-based analyses by integrating document co-citation analysis, social network analysis, and exploratory factor analysis to explore the intellectual structure of the MSiSE literature (i.e. the relationships within and between subfields of MSiSE). Co-citation refers to any two articles that are jointly referenced in other articles. After the computation of co-citation analysis, 27 articles that have been co-cited at least once by follow-up studies as references were identified as the final set of core articles. The whole co-citation profile of 27 cores with the 434 links was then visualized in a network through social network analysis, representing an overview for the intellectual structure of core MSiSE studies. The most cross-referenced underpinnings in the network focused on adaptive scaffolding for self-regulated learning to enhance students’ conceptual understanding and on younger students’ metacognition in online science inquiry learning environments. Furthermore, two emerging topics in the network were identified through an exploratory factor analysis as “non-technological metacognitive scaffolding media,” and “behavior patterns & task analysis in technology-infused environments.” Overall, the study provides an innovative review method of scholarly communication in the MSiSE literature. 相似文献

Invention and Productive Failure activities ask students to generate methods that capture the important properties of some given data (e.g., uncertainty) before being taught the expert solution. Invention and Productive Failure activities are a class of scientific inquiry activities in that students create, implement, and evaluate mathematical models based on data. Yet, lacking sufficient inquiry skills, students often do not actualize the full potential of these activities. We identified key invention strategies in which students often fail to engage: exploratory analysis, peer interaction, self-explanation, and evaluation. A classroom study with 134 students evaluated the effect of supporting these skills on the quality and outcomes of the invention process. Students in the Unguided Invention condition received conventional Invention Activities; students in the Guided Invention condition received complementary metacognitive scaffolding. Students were asked to invent methods for calculating uncertainties in best-fitting lines. Guided Invention students invented methods that included more conceptual features and ranked the given datasets more accurately, although the quality of their mathematical expressions was not improved. At the process level, Guided Invention students revised their methods more frequently and had more and better instances of unprompted self-explanations even on components of the activity that were not supported by the metacognitive scaffolding. Classroom observations are used to demonstrate the effect of the scaffolding on students’ learning behaviours. These results suggest that process guidance in the form of metacognitive scaffolding augments the inherent benefits of Invention Activities and can lead to gains at both domain and inquiry levels. 相似文献

A new computerized environment enabling a variety of metacognitive supports in different phases of the problem-solving process
was designed to influence students' metacognition during word problem-solving and its effect has been examined in the present
research. 441 students (aged 13–14) from eighth-grade integrative classes participated in this study. The pupils were randomly
assigned to one of four computerized learning environments, each having a different kind of metacognitive support according
to the phase of the problem-solving process: 1) during the solution process and after the completion of the problem-solving
process, 2) during the problem-solving process, 3) at the end of the solution process and 4) no metacognitive support. Results
indicated that learning environments which provide metacognitive support during the solution process in each of its phases
was significantly more effective than learning environments which provide metacognitive support only at the end of the process.
Moreover, students with low previous knowledge were more significantly influenced by metacognitive supports than students
with high previous knowledge.

In two semester-long studies, we examined whether college students could improve their ability to accurately predict their
own exam performance across multiple exams. We tested whether providing concrete feedback and incentives (i.e., extra credit)
for accuracy would improve predictions by improving students’ metacognition, or awareness of their own knowledge. Students’
predictions were almost always higher than the grade they earned and this was particularly true for low-performing students.
Experiment 1 demonstrated that providing incentives but minimal feedback failed to show improvement in students’ metacognition or performance.
However, Experiment 2 showed that when feedback was made more concrete, metacognition improved for low performing students although exam scores
did not improve across exams, suggesting that feedback and incentives influenced metacognitive monitoring but not control. 相似文献

Comprehension of science topics occurs when learners meaningfully generate relationships and conceptions about what they read.
In this generation process, learners’ cognitive and metacognitive regulation is one of the most critical factors influencing
learning. However, learners are not always successful in regulating their own learning, especially in computer-based learning
environments (CBLEs) where they are alone. Based on this rationale, the present study was designed to examine the effects
of two scaffolding strategies—generative learning strategy prompts and metacognitive feedback—on learners’ comprehension and
self-regulation while learning the human heart system in a CBLE. Participants were 223 undergraduate student volunteers. Structural
Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed to conceptualize and empirically test a model that explains mediating processes among
variables. Results revealed that the combination of generative learning strategy prompts with metacognitive feedback improved
learners’ recall and comprehension by enhancing learners’ self-regulation and better use of highlighting and summarizing as
generative learning strategies. 相似文献

The present work describes an experience of educational innovation in a university context. Its aim was to determine the relationship
between students’ frequency of use of online self-assessment with feedback and their final performance on the course, taking
into account both learners’ motivation and perceived usefulness of these resources for their learning process. Furthermore,
we studied the relationship between metacognitive variables and academic performance and/or execution of activities aimed
at learning the course content. To this end we created self-assessment material with the Hot Potatoes educational program and assessed the degree to which students took advantage of the tool, their satisfaction with it and
their perceived knowledge, using ad hoc questionnaires. The results indicate better academic performance in those students
that use interactive self-assessment. It should be pointed out that even students with low motivation levels made use of this
teaching tool. Finally, a relationship was found between metacognitive variables and students’ effort and performance. We
discuss the need to include self-assessment in the curriculum, with a view to improving students’ metacognitive knowledge. 相似文献

In this study we content analyzed the online discussion of several senior-high-school groups on a forum of a virtual physics
laboratory in Taiwan. The goal of our research was to investigate the nature of non-course-based online discussion and to
find out some useful guidelines in developing such discussion forums for learning purposes. We adapted Henri’s framework and
models (1992) for our analysis. The content analysis was conducted in terms of participation rate, social cues, interaction
types, and cognitive and metacognitive skills. In this study, we compared the result patterns of two discussion conditions
(‘required’ (R-) condition versus ‘non-required’ (NR-) condition) of a non-course-based discussion forum and investigated
how the quality of message content changed in the processes of discussion. In the R-condition, participants were required
to reply to the thread before they were allowed to read other messages on the forum, whereas participants in the NR-condition
were not restricted to this demand. The results showed that for both conditions, the most frequently involved interaction
type was ‘direct response’, and the most frequently used cognitive skill was ‘elementary clarification’. Fewer participants
of the R-condition strayed from the subject under discussion in comparison to the NR-condition. However, larger percentage
of message content containing metacognitive components was found in the NR-condition. When taking the sequences of postings
into account, we found that for the R-condition, the percentage of metacognitive component in the message content tended to
increase in the up-third postings, whereas for the up-third postings of the NR-condition the percentage of non-cognitive components
substantially increased. Overall, the results of our study indicated that the way in which participants used cognitive and
metacognitive skills during the discussions was related to the discussion conditions. The initial requirement of reply fostered
the use of cognitive skills, but it did not necessarily induce the use of high-level cognitive or metacognitive skills. We
concluded that beside the discussion conditions the moderators’ guidance would be influential in determining the quality of
online discussion on a non-course-based discussion forum.

This study examines the effectiveness of three scaffolding conditions on adolescents’ learning about the circulatory system
with a hypermedia learning environment. One hundred and eleven adolescents (n = 111) were randomly assigned to one of three scaffolding conditions (adaptive scaffolding (AS), fixed scaffolding (FS),
or no scaffolding (NS)) and were trained to use a hypermedia environment to learn about the circulatory system. Pretest and
posttest data were collected to measure the qualitative changes in students’ mental models of the topic and quantitative changes
in their declarative knowledge. Verbal protocols were collected during the 40-minute learning task to examine how each condition
affected the way in which students regulated their learning. Findings revealed that learners in both the AS and NS conditions
gained significantly more declarative knowledge than did those in the FS condition. Also, the AS condition was associated
with shift in learners’ mental models significantly more than the other conditions. Associated with these significant shifts
in their mental models, learners in the AS condition regulated their learning by planning and activating prior knowledge,
monitoring their cognitive activities and their progress toward learning goals, using several effective strategies, and engaging
in adaptive help-seeking. By contrast, those in the NS condition used fewer effective strategies, while those in the FS regulated
their learning by using several regulatory processes which seemed to impede their learning. Implications for the design of
scaffolds for fostering students’ self-regulated learning with hypermedia are presented. 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

AbstractThis article focused on the concept of metacognition. Some theoretical models of metacognition were discussed to provide a general framework to understand the relationship between the different aspects or components of this phenomenon. The study also looked at five metacognitive strategies that enhance learning in schools, namely: (1) graphic organizers; (2) metacognitive scaffolding; (3) reciprocal teaching; (4) explicit instruction; and (5) collaborative learning. The work also briefly highlighted the problems of metacognitive strategies used in Nigerian schools. We noted that all learners do not engage spontaneously in metacognitive thinking unless they are explicitly encouraged to do so through carefully designed instructional activities. The study therefore recommended effective practice of scaffolded instruction on metacognitive strategies use in Nigerian schools and other countries in the world. 相似文献

Educational psychologists have found that metacognitive calibration predicts learning outcomes in self‐regulated learning. In this research the authors apply theories of metacognition from educational psychology and postulate that metacognitive calibration influences learning time and performance in online learning. Data gathered from 230 college students who completed online self‐regulated assignments in an introductory information systems course confirms that higher calibration accuracy leads to better performance on assignments, which contributes to higher exam grades. In addition, higher calibration accuracy also reduces the amount of time students spent on the online assignments. However, time spent on the assignments is not a mediator of the effect of calibration on learning performance. This research presents pioneering work in examining a holistic model that assesses the impact of metacognition in online learning on both assignment and exam level learning outcomes using field data collected through a natural learning setting. The findings highlight the need to include metacognitive calibration as one of the learner characteristics in research models addressing student performance in online learning. 相似文献

Intelligent Tutoring Systems have been shown to be very effective in supporting learning in domains such as mathematics, physics,
computer programming, etc. However, they are yet to achieve similar success in tutoring metacognition. While an increasing
number of educational technology systems support productive metacognitive behavior within the scope of the system, few attempt
to teach skills students need to become better future learners. To that end, we offer a set of empirically-based design principles
for metacognitive tutoring. Our starting point is a set of design principles put forward by Anderson et al. (Journal of the Learning Sciences, 4:167–207, 1995) regarding Cognitive Tutors, a family of Intelligent Tutoring Systems. We evaluate the relevance of these
principles to the tutoring of help-seeking skills, based on our ongoing empirical work with the Help Tutor. This auxiliary
tutor agent is designed to help students learn to make effective use of the help facilities offered by a Cognitive Tutor.
While most of Anderson’s principles are relevant to the tutoring of help seeking, a number of differences emerge as a result
of the nature of metacognitive knowledge and of the need to combine metacognitive and domain-level tutoring. We compare our
approach to other metacognitive tutoring systems, and, where appropriate, propose new guidelines to promote the discussion
regarding the nature and design of metacognitive tutoring within scaffolded problem-solving environments. 相似文献

Metacognition refers to an individual's knowledge, control and awareness of his/her learning processes. An important goal
of education is to develop students as metacognitive, life-long learners. However, developing students' metacognition and
evaluating whether classrooms are oriented to the development of students' metacognition are difficult and often time-consuming
tasks. Further, no instruments that measure key dimensions related to classroom factors that specifically influence the development
of students' metacognition have been available. This article describes the conceptualisation, design, and validation of an
instrument for evaluating the metacognitive orientation of science classroom learning environments. The metacognitive orientation
of a learning environment is the extent to which that environment supports the development and enhancement of students' metacognition.
Social constructivism was the guiding referent informing the instrument's orientation and development. This instrument measures
students' perceptions of the extent to which certain psychosocial dimensions, evident in learning environments where interventions
have resulted in enhanced student metacognition, are evident in their science classrooms. Findings from the use of this instrument
complement what is already known from research studies to be generally the case in relation to science classrooms' metacognitive
orientation.

This paper reports on observational approaches developed within a UK study to the identification and assessment of metacognition
and self-regulation in young children in the 3–5 year age range. It is argued that the development of observational tools,
although containing methodological difficulties, allows us to make more valid assessments of children’s metacognitive and
self-regulatory abilities in this age group. The analysis of 582 metacognitive or self-regulatory videotaped ‘events’ is described,
including the development of a coding framework identifying verbal and non-verbal indicators. The construction of an observational
instrument, the Children’s Independent Learning Development (CHILD 3–5) checklist, is also reported together with evidence
of the reliability with which it can be used by classroom teachers and early indications of its external validity as a measure
of metacognition and self-regulation in young children. Given the educational significance of children’s development of metacognitive
and self-regulatory skills, it is argued that the development of such an instrument is potentially highly beneficial. The
establishment of the metacognitive and self-regulatory capabilities of young children by means of the kinds of observational
tools developed within this study also has clear and significant implications for models and theories of metacognition and
self-regulation. The paper concludes with a discussion of these implications.
