Document Summary
Encompasses knowledge and beliefs about the general nature of human cognitive processes, reflection on one"s own cognitive processes, and intentional engagement in behaviors and thought processes that enhance learning and memory. Metacognitive awareness- knowing about thinking and learning. Students with a greater metacognitive awareness are more likely to undergo conceptual change. Controlling your thinking and learning to some degree is an important component of metacognition. Learning strategy: intentionally using a certain approach to learning and remembering something. Processes that may facilitate long-term memory storage: rehearsal, elaboration, organization, and visual imagery. Overt strategies: behaviors we can actually see. Keeping a calendar for assignments and due dates, devoting time to schoolwork, asking questions when confused, writing about classroom subject matter. Taking notes (quality matters), creating summaries (distinguishing between un/important information, synthesizing details into more general ideas, id critical interrelationships) Covert strategies: internal mental processes we often can"t see (elaborating and forming visual images)
