Metacognition in higher Ed Chapter 6

LaVaque-Manty and Evans

The Domain

Psychology and Political Science writing
Try to think like a domain specialist which is already a bit metacognitive

The Intervention

  • planning: reflect on known and to be learned items
  • monitoring: reflecting on writing choices
  • evaluation: what works/what doesn't

The Results

Key questions:

-- Is this metacognition?
  • Made a 'pre-judgment' -- judged own knowledge -- so yes
  • Reflective awareness of one's own process -- yes
  • Evaluation was more reflective and less metacognitive?

-- Is this success?

-- Can this be improved?
