Episode 13: Metacognition in the classroom

Post-secondary instructors are not only charged with teaching students content but, also, how to learn within their discipline. Dr. Greg Thomas, Professor of Secondary Education, discusses how instructors might begin to tap into learners' awareness and understanding of their own thought processes (a.k.a. their metacognition). In conversation with Dr. Neil Haave, Associate Director at the CTL, Dr. Thomas provides instructors some concrete suggestions they can begin to try in their own classrooms. Anyone interested in further learning about metacognition can access a bibliography on it at (a) https://doi.org/10.7939/r3-t5ay-w140 or (b) by email request to Dr. Thomas at gthomas1@ualberta.ca
