What you will learn from our metacognition and self-regulation student pack?
The metacognition support pack explores self-regulation and metacognition strategies to enable you to become a better learner. According to the insights in the metacognition support pack:
“Research shows that the best learners are ones who are very good at self-regulating their learning and who use metacognitive strategies every day. Therefore, the better you are at self-regulation and metacognition, the better you are going to be at learning.”
The pack also explores some practical strategies you can use to improve self-regulation and metacognition. It explores the purpose of the strategy, how it should be used, and provides you with an opportunity to put it into practice.
Self-regulation strategies
The support pack delves into two practical strategies to improve your self-regulation:
- Prioritisation – Making decisions based on urgency, importance and impact.
- Distractions – Limiting distractions to build information in your short-term memory, and then retaining onto your long term memory.
Metacognitive strategies
The support pack explores twelve planning, monitoring, and evaluation strategies to develop your metacognition. It covers:
- Planning – Assessing different strategies and any content knowledge you will need.
- Graphic organisers – Utilising graphic organisers to summarise key information such as the Frayer Model, Bubble Map, Flow Map, Multi-flow map and the PMI grid.
By employing these strategies and following the the Oxford Revise three-step revision method, you’ll be unstoppable!
