Metacognition techniques 2

Today is a short day for reading as the theory follows on from day1.

Tanner (2012) suggested a phased approach to problem solving to help with metacognitive skill development:

1. Pre-assessment: What do we already know about the situation?

2. Muddiest point: What bits most confuse us?

3. Post assessment: What went right? What went wrong?

4. Journals: Keeping a reflective journal of their thinking.
