Een leerkracht vroeg me onlangs wat metacognitie precies betekende en wat de meerwaarde ervan is in het leerproces? Het was het startschot voor een boeiend gesprek over leren. Het was tevens een uitdagende vraag. Ik wil het immers eenvoudig uitleggen zonder afbreuk te doen aan de complexiteit van het begrip. Dit artikel helpt me bij die uitdaging.

Today, we finished the second week of an interpersonal communications course.  The students in the course are first term college students, a few fresh out of high school.  As is my common practice, I end my week of instruction with reflective questions for the students: What was your significant learning this past week? What principles…

The move away from standardization and into a personal learning classroom is built upon reflection. The blended classroom can be a hot bed for personal reflection.

Samen nadenken met je leerlingen over hun leerproces. Hoe maak jij hier tijd voor? 
CCM Consultancy's curator insight, February 12, 2017 12:39 AM

"Critical reflection is an important part of any learning process. Without reflection, learning becomes only an activity — like viewing a reality TV show — which was never meant to have meaning, but was only meant to occupy time"

Thinking about Thinking Optimizes Learning

Most teachers know that if students reflect on how they learn, they become better learners. For example, some students may think and process information best in a quiet library; others may focus better surrounded by familiar noise or music. Learning strategies that work for math may be different from those applied in the study of a foreign language. For some, it takes more time to understand biology than chemistry. With greater awareness of how they acquire knowledge, students learn to regulate their behavior to optimize learning. They begin to see how their strengths and weaknesses affect how they perform. The ability to think about one’s thinking is what neuroscientists call metacognition. As students’ metacognitive abilities increase, research suggests they also achieve at higher levels.

Metacognition plays an important role in all learning and life experiences. Beyond academic learning, when students gain awareness of their own mental states, they begin to answer important questions: How do I live a happy life? How do I become a respected human being? How do I feel good about myself? Through these reflections, they also begin to understand other people’s perspectives.

Teaching learners to think about their own "thinking" can be one of the most empowering tools. When learners engage in reflective thinking it develops a growth rather than a fixed mindset.
