As traditional classroom settings are transitioning to online environments, teachers now face the challenge of using this medium to promote effective learning strategies, especially when teaching older age groups. Because adult learners bring a different set of understandings and skills to education than younger students, such as more job and life…

Henderson, Peter; Hodgen, Jeremy; Foster, Colin; Kuchemann, Dietmar – Education Endowment Foundation, 2017
This guidance report focuses on the teaching of mathematics to pupils in Key Stages 2 and 3. It is not intended to provide a comprehensive guide to mathematics teaching. We have made recommendations where there are research findings that schools can use to make a significant difference to pupils' learning, and have focused on the questions that…

DeLoache, Judy S.; And Others – Child Development, 1985
Discusses strategy-like behaviors in a memory-for-location task found in four studies of 18- to 24-month-old children. Interprets results as evidence of an early natural propensity to keep alive what must be remembered, a rudimentary version of what will later become more elaborate mnemonic strategies. (Author/CB)

Chi, Michelene T. H. – Human Development, 1985
Presents evidence from the memory development literature showing why strategies and metaknowledge are not sufficient factors to account for memory development. Summarizes current research on the influence of the general knowledge base, including general world-knowledge and domain-specific knowledge and procedures. Discusses questions that must be…

Hayes, Donald S.; And Others – Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, 1987
The Flavell (l981) model of cognitive monitoring and metamnemonic development was tested by four experiments conducted to determine whether preschool children (1) recognize that mood, fatigue, and fear are variables that influence learning; and (2) self-monitor their internal states and adjust their study behavior when they are sad or tired.

Schmitt, Maribeth Cassidy; Newby, Timothy J. – Journal of Instructional Development, 1986
Defines metacognition and describes the effects of incorporating metacognitive aspects into instructional design. Three types of knowledge--declarative, procedural, and conditional--are discussed as necessary components of metacognitive awareness, and positive effects on the learner in terms of motivation and performance are described.

Warner, Michael M.; And Others – Learning Disabilities Research, 1989
The accuracy of recall and use of appropriate rehearsal strategies was compared for learning-disabled and low-achieving adolescents. There was little difference in performance between the two groups; both groups tended to employ appropriate executive strategies. (Author/DB)

Woody-Ramsey, Janet; Miller, Patricia H. – Child Development, 1988
Studies the allocation of attention of 100 four- and five-year-olds on a selective attention task. Results suggest that preschoolers are capable of using selective strategies when the task is made meaningful by the inclusion of a familiar script that provides supportive cognitive context. (RJC)

Ghatala, Elizabeth S.; And Others – 1984
Second-grade children were given general training in monitoring the utility of strategies, the affective consequences of strategy use, or no strategy-monitoring training. They then performed an associative learning task, first without strategy instructions and then with instructions to use either an effective or ineffective strategy. All training…

Meyer, Jan H. F. – Innovations in Education and Teaching International, 2004
The Reflections on Learning Inventory (RoLI) is an instrument designed to capture variation in students' engagement of learning--typically in a given disciplinary context or topic-specific 'episode'. Although the RoLI has been employed as a research instrument in a number of published studies on the modelling of student learning in higher…

Weed, Keri; And Others – 1984
The influences of locus of control, awareness of control and metacognition on the use and transfer of a trained strategy were examined. Specifically, it was hypothesized that internal locus of control would be associated with more strategic performance, and that those children who were able to both accurately assess their performance with and…

Brown, Jonathan; Brown, Lisbeth – Volta Review, 1987
This introduction to meta-analysis uses examples of data reported for normal-hearing students, hearing-impaired students, and a comparison of the significance of the difference between the two. The analysis shows instruction in thinking strategies (metacognition) to be an appropriate classroom technique for improving learning with normal-hearing…

Jausovec, Norbert – Roeper Review, 1994
Two experiments with a total of 37 college students showed that metacognitive training influenced strategic flexibility and metacognition of students. The studies also found it was much easier to enhance performance on closed problems than with open problems calling for creativity. (Author/DB)
