Finishing Strong: Promoting Student Metacognition √ §

How can you improve students’ self-regulation and motivate them to synthesize, reflect, and retain what they’ve learned in your course? How can you help them prepare to transfer learning into their next experiences? As we approach the end of the semester, join your colleagues to discuss ways to help students finish strong: coaching them to abandon habits like cramming and over-dependence on your guidance by engaging their metacognitive and self-learning skills instead. We’ll share key ideas from the literature on motivation, metacognition, and self-regulation and discuss together how we can help students gain agency in their learning.
