19 Metacognitive Strategies To Help Kids Control Their Learning
SHARE

Metacognition is more than just “thinking about thinking.” It involves being aware of our own thought processes and making decisions to improve learning and performance. Experts in various fields utilize metacognitive strategies to understand what they know and identify areas for improvement. Developing metacognitive skills takes time but can be supported at any age, especially in educational settings.

Teaching students metacognitive strategies can enhance their mastery of subjects and help them apply their knowledge in different contexts. By encouraging students to plan, monitor, and adjust their learning behaviors based on feedback, educators can foster a culture of metacognitive awareness in the classroom.

One way to introduce metacognitive strategies is to engage students in conversations about their thinking preferences and challenges. Encouraging them to reflect on their mental actions and teaching them various “learning verbs” can help build a foundation for metacognitive skills. Additionally, incorporating thinking routines developed by researchers at Harvard Graduate School of Education can provide students with structured approaches to make their thinking visible.

It’s essential to explain to students how learning can physically change their brains, empowering them to take control of their learning process. By creating a school-wide approach to teaching metacognition and using common strategies and language across grades and subjects, schools can reinforce the importance of metacognitive skills.

To further enhance metacognitive practices in the classroom, educators can utilize strategies such as helping students make plans to apply new learning, encouraging them to predict task outcomes, and using rubrics as metacognitive tools. By incorporating visual models, engaging students in teaching roles, and including metacognitive prompts on exit tickets, educators can provide opportunities for students to actively engage with their thinking processes.

Encouraging students to reflect on feedback, track their successes, and celebrate their achievements can also reinforce metacognitive habits. By integrating these strategies into daily lessons and activities, educators can help students develop metacognitive skills that will benefit them not only academically but also in various aspects of their lives.

In conclusion, fostering metacognitive awareness in students can lead to improved learning outcomes and long-term retention of knowledge. By incorporating metacognitive strategies into teaching practices, educators can empower students to become more independent and effective learners.
