Metacognition

By definition Metacognition is "thinking about thinking." ;D

~Think about thinking and how it affects your academic success

~Understand personal way of thinking about and walking through assignments

~Self-awareness (regulate your thinking and monitor your progress)

~Increase skills that support you in becoming a disciple-scholar

~4 key steps:

          ·       Identify the assignment

·      Determine an initial approach (identify knowledge, skills, learning, strategies you already know)

·      Monitor yourself as you work

·      Evaluate your work

After we took these notes, we discussed these steps to metacognition and how it could help us clear our minds when we are stressed.

Also, we took a survey on MyMap that asked us questions about us and our daily lives.   With the results of this survey, the website told us about our study techniques and about where we could use some help.  It was an interesting survey that compared my habits to those of other BYU students.
