How can metacognition enhance your performance on sophisticated, nuanced exams like the A.P.?
Do now:
Metacognition is ....
- thinking about thinking and developing the process of solving problems and answering questions
- the examination of how we think about how we do things, how we go about finding solutions, how well we can understand and analyse the systems, strategies and techniques we use to think to do things
- an awareness of the process of how an answer is found, what strategies and type of thought has gone on and the previous experiences that have been used
- to consciously apply a process, a procedure to a problem or activity and to be aware that the result is satisfactory or otherwise. To be able to 'unpick' that strategy/those actions and so improve performance
- awareness of the different processes involved in thinking
- the ability to take out our thinking, and examine it, and put it back, rearranged if necessary
- thinking about thinking rather than just remembering facts and recalling events
What strategies will you employ during today's quiz? Consider your personal strengths and weaknesses.
