The study of metacognition can shed light on some fundamental issues about consciousness and its role in behavior. Metacognition research concerns the processes by which people self reflect on their own cognitive and memory processes (monitoring), and how they put their metaknowledge to use in regulating their information processing and behavior (control). Experimental research on metacognition...

We consider hierarchical model of skills . Based on the model, we clarify difficulties in mastering each skill, consider which difficulties are reduced by existing supporting method, and then clarify which difficulties remain to master self-regulation skill . In this paper we propose a method of supporting learners’ development of their self-regulation skills , which is designed to reduce the r...

To help with the prediction of school achievement through a mathematical model incorporating goal orientation, course perception, and academic self-regulation, a sample of 380 9th graders in Tabriz was selected using the cluster sampling method. Instruments used to measure these constructs were translated ones. Data analyses showed that goal orientation and course perception have a direct impac...

Our studies with Betty’s Brain, a learning by teaching environment, have shown that the system is effective in helping fifth grade students gain a good understanding of river ecosystem concepts. The use of self-regulation strategies demonstrated that the learning gains transferred to new domains where students worked without the self-regulation system. This paper analyzes the log files of the s...

The recommended treatment for Social Phobia is individual Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT). CBT-treatments emphasize social self-beliefs (schemas) as the core underlying factor for maladaptive self-processing and social anxiety symptoms. However, the need for such beliefs in models of psychopathology has recently been questioned. Specifically, the metacognitive model of psychological disorde...

The authors present findings from a large 2-year study exploring the development of self-regulatory and metacognitive abilities in young children (aged 3 to 5 years) in educational naturalistic settings in the United Kingdom (English Nursery and Reception classrooms). Three levels of analysis were conducted based on observational codings of categories of metacognitive and self-regulatory behavi...

While the widespread acceptance of social virtual words is being increased in the last years, little are known about how students’ personal factors can affect their engagement in online learning courses. The current study proposed and empirically examined a conceptual model that aimed to fill this gap. The main purpose is to present an extensive empirical data of 305 novice or expert students (...

Metacognition may be broadly understood as awareness, monitoring, and regulation of an intelligent agent’s own internal processing, a “thinking about thinking”. The cognitive complexity and self-maintenance value of this introspective skillset has considerable current interest in the study of both biological and artificial intelligence, with intriguing parallels. Study of metacognition in some ...

Metacognition and self-regulation are processes extremely relevant to education of persons with intellectual disabilities. They play a central role in specific limitations, such as outer-directedness and lack of strategy transfer, and are related to desirable educational objectives such as self-determination. Although computer-assisted training has shown to be successful in training specific ab...
