Self-regulated learning (SRL) and metacognition are key in the context of 21 century education, adult training, and lifelong learning. For instructional strategies to foster metacognition and self-regulation it is crucial to know what are good metacognitive and SRL behaviors. We investigated this question in the context of a training simulator in a curriculum setting with 152 medical students. ...

Although there were studies that presented the applications of metacognitive skill training, the research on web-based metacognitive skills training are few. The purpose of this study is to design a web-based learning environment and further examine the effect of the web-based training. A pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design was used in this study. Fifty-three college students were assign...

A model of decision making is proposed that integrates recognitional and metacognitive processes. The metacognitive functions supplement recognitional skills in situations in which events are novel or the meaning of events is unclear for other reasons. Such situations are common in military settings, such as Naval anti-air warfare, where it is often the case that stakes are high, time is short,...

Metacognition, the ability to assess one's own knowledge, has been targeted as a critical learning mechanism in mathematics education. Yet the early childhood origins of metacognition have proven difficult to study. Using a novel nonverbal task and a comprehensive set of metacognitive measures, we provided the strongest evidence to date that young children are metacognitive. We showed that chil...

Metacognitive training techniques have been used successfully to improve children's problem-solving skills. The concept of metacognition needs further refinement, however, if it is to continue to be useful as an explanatory construct. Specifically, we argue that more attention needs to be paid to how metacognitive abilities are acquired, how this knowledge could be used to help improve the perf...

Although learning protocols seem to be a promising possibility as a form of follow-up course work, cognitive and metacognitive learning activities proved to be suboptimal in “naive” protocols. Therefore, learning protocols were structured by prompts to elicit cognitive and metacognitive learning activities and thereby improve their effects. An experiment with four conditions was conducted. The ...

Mindfulness training has proven to be an efficacious therapeutic tool for a variety of clinical and nonclinical health problems and a booster of well-being.
