McCarthy, Kathryn S.; Likens, Aaron D.; Johnson, Amy M.; Guerrero, Tricia A.; McNamara, Danielle S. – Grantee Submission, 2018
Research suggests that promoting metacognitive awareness can increase performance in, and learning from, intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs). The current work examines the effects of two metacognitive prompts within iSTART, a reading comprehension strategy ITS in which students practice writing quality self-explanations. In addition to comparing…
