Knowing the importance of metacognition, Richa decided she would try to focus her young students' attention on their own thinking skills. Richa knew by having her students 'think' about their thinking they would eventually increase their metacognitive skills. Which one of the strategy should Richa employ?
- A.
Overlearning
- B.
A KWL Chart
- C.
Rote learning
- D.
An algorithm
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Metacognition involves reflecting on one's own thinking processes. A KWL Chart (Know, Want to know, Learned) is an effective strategy for this as it requires students to track their prior knowledge and new learning, fostering self-regulation. In contrast, strategies like rote learning or overlearning focus primarily on memorization rather than cognitive reflection.
