Document Summary

Early definitions = includes planning, monitoring, evaluating. Ex- stopping and asking yourself if you understand what you just read- when reading a book. Just the fact that you would ask yourself if you understand means you are engaged in metacognition. When you ask a child this, it leads them to ask themselves if they u(cid:374)de(cid:396)sta(cid:374)d i(cid:374)te(cid:396)(cid:374)alizi(cid:374)g (cid:395)uestio(cid:374)s a(cid:374)d promote metacognition.

Production deficiency: when you fail to use appropriate learning strategies when you know them. Many strategies for specific situations: kwl- for studying and general inquiry, reads- for studying, caps- for reading stories. Have to guide these strategies and model them for students for how to use them. Algorithm: rigid procedures that always produce the solution: for well-defined, well structured problems.
