METACOGNITION
Manescan kaye d. beed ii
Activity 1:
- I discovered that when there is work that needs to be done, I always prepare my
works early. So that I can think more about my work or what I want to improve.
- I think I’m strong because I will be always ready to do some works and always think
and find many more ways to improve it.
Module 1
Metacognition (Worksheet 1)
1. Make a collection of metacognitive strategies that can make learning more effective and
Efficient
Use Writing , write out what you know and what questions you have about the learning
objectives for each topic you are learning.
Take notes from memory , it also engages your recall, which makes it more likely you’ll
be able to remember and understand the material when you’re done.
Test yourself, you don’t want you exam to be the first time you accurately assess how
well you know the material.
Ask yourself question, Try brainstorming some of you own questions as well. Take the
time to be introspective and honest with yourself about comprehension.
Enable student to negotiate assessment methods and criteria matched to their learning
goals.
With a focus on activating prior knowledge, introducing new knowledge and skills,
modelling the application of knowledge and skills and providing ample opportunity for
independent practice and reflection.
Assist students to become increasingly self- directed over time and to gain confidence
and their ability to complete learning tasks.
3. Write a 3-paragraph insights on the lesson being studied.
From the Module on Metacognition, I realized that metacognition improves learning because it
promotes information recognition, it aids comprehension, and encourages self-regulation.
Metacognition refers to the awareness and understanding of their own cognitive process, it is
thinking about thinking, which promotes information recognition by reflecting and questioning
one 's self. It also helps with the comprehension of material and it encourages self regulation, a
learning process which consists of a developing a set of behavior that affects ones.
Metacognition often described as the "thinking about thinking" is a decision making process.
Metacognition improves learning because it helps students; recognize which learning strategies
are effective and which are not; helps student recognize what their learning and memory
capabilities are. involves many other tasks as monitoring, understanding and analyzing the
progress. The better a person will be in a metacognitive skill the higher their learning.
Metacognition also involves knowing yourself as a learner that is, knowing your strengths and
weaknesses as a learner. For example, if you can explain what your strengths are in academic
writing, or exam taking, or other types of academic tasks, then you are metacognitively aware.
Metacognitive processes can be applied to learning and thinking in all disciplines and contexts.
It is an essential skill for life-long learning, and therefore, metacognitive skills need to be taught
and discussed with students.

Principles
2. Go back to each word and write phrases about why you think the word can be
associated with Learner-Centered Psychological Principles.
I advocate the use of the 14 Learning-Centered , if you are not willing to learn,
nobody can help you. If you are determined to learn, no one can stop you.
Education is one of many complex living systems that function to support
particular human needs. To live a life without continuous learning is
unthinkable.
2. Explain briefly in your own words the meaning of the phrase “Thinking about
thinking”
Thinking about thinking is your ability to think and solve your own problems in
specific ways when you are in unfamiliar cultural settings. Thinking about
thinking helps us to have better manage our own learning and learn difficult
concepts deeply.
