Metacognition in the Primary Classroom (eBook, PDF)

A practical guide to helping children understand how they learn best

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Current trends in education suggest that pupils should have more responsibility for their own learning. But how can they if they don't understand the what, the why and the how of their learning? It is important that children are well-enough informed to play an active role in learning better. Understanding and Developing Metacognition in the Primary Classroom explores the idea that a metacognitive approach enables pupils to develop skills for life long learning. If pupils can identify the what, the why, and the how of their learning, they can begin to formulate strategies for overcoming challenges and for continuous improvement.

"Although the majority of this book is aimed at primary key stages, it does touch upon the foundation years with a chapter on how to develop metacognition in the early years. This could prove a timely and thought-provoking read." - Neil Henty, EYE
