Tips for Faculty to Create Learner Self-Awareness

Teaching and modeling metacognitive skills pays dividends for students not only in your class, but as they move on to other classes as well. Techniques like teaching students to check their own understanding for distortions and misconceptions, predicting project or exam performance and then studying your feedback to align their projections, and practicing identifying what they don’t understand are just a few of the metacognitive methods we’ll discuss in this workshop. All are ways to help students become more self-aware of their own learning progress. Faculty members who attend the Zoom session will receive a Tips handout and their attendance will be added to Activity Insight.
