There is the specific situation in secondary schools regarding students' understanding of the importance of acquired knowledge which they need for the continuation of their education. Therefore, nowadays it is necessary to introduce innovative forms of knowledge acquiring such as blended learning. The intention is to build an adequate model using Mamdani Fuzzy Logic in terms of better motivatio...

Purpose: This paper aims at studying the effectiveness of training metacognitive skills on academic achievement among the first grade female high school students. Materials & Methods:  The population consists of the first grade female high school students in Shirvan in the academic years of 2014-2015.The sample includes 40 students and divided into two groups of 20 who were randomly groupe...

Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder experience difficulties with social skills, which can be attributed to deficits in Theory of Mind (ToM, the ability to infer others thoughts) and metacognitive abilities (thinking about your own thinking). Neuroimaging studies have revealed that the medial prefrontal cortex is part of the ToM and metacognitive networks, and is underactive in individuals...

BACKGROUND AND AIM As part of the process of nursing students becoming 'work ready' within future health care teams, students need the skills to work collaboratively. In higher education, establishing group work assignments is a teaching method to develop group work skills. Not only is group work an important teaching method to develop effective group work skills but it is also used to activate...

A new architectural framework for a metacognitive tutoring system is presented that is aimed to stimulate self-regulatory behavior in the learner. The new framework extends the cognitive architecture of TutorJ that has been already proposed by some of the authors. TutorJ relies mainly on dialogic interaction with the user, and makes use of a statistical dialogue planner implemented through a Pa...

People tend to hold overly favorable views of their abilities in many social and intellectual domains. The authors suggest that this overestimation occurs, in part, because people who are unskilled in these domains suffer a dual burden: Not only do these people reach erroneous conclusions and make unfortunate choices, but their incompetence robs them of the metacognitive ability to realize it. ...

Recent investigations have established the importance of metacognition in the acquisition and application of learning skills in diverse domains of inquiry (Alexander, Fabricius, Fleming, Zwahr & Brown, 2003). Although the concept “metacognition” has been defined in numerous ways Sperling, Howard and Staley (2004) suggest a focus on its component parts, which are knowledge about cognition and re...

Metacognition, motivation, and affect are components of self-regulated learning (SRL) that interact. The “metacognitive and affective model of self-regulated learning” (theMASRLmodel) distinguishes two levels of functioning in SRL, namely, the Person level and the Task× Person level. At the Person level interactions between trait-like characteristics such as cognitive ability, metacognitive kno...

An approach in modeling collaborative and metacognitive data is presented in this paper. The proposed scheme, namely Collaboration/ Metacognition–Adaptive Network-based Fuzzy Inference System (C/M-ANFIS), uses neurofuzzy structure to adaptively infer on the relation between the above data in a meaningful way. More specifically, the collaborative and metacognitive data refer to the participant’s...
