Question

When do you find yourself engaging in metacognition as a learner? How do the self-regulated learning strategies identified in your text foster student metacognition? Explain one metacognitive instructional strategy that you think would be most relevant for the age group you expect to teach.

Answer 1

I find myself engaging in metacognition as a learner when I plan, monitor, and evaluate my own learning processes and outcomes. For example, before I start a new task, I think about what I already know and what I need to learn. During the task, I check my understanding and adjust my strategies if necessary. After the task, I reflect on what I learned and how I can improve next time.
