Chen, Li-Ju; Ho, Rong-Guey; Yen, Yung-Chin – Educational Technology & Society, 2010
This study aimed to explore the effects of marking and metacognition-evaluated feedback (MEF) in computer-based testing (CBT) on student performance and review behavior. Marking is a strategy, in which students place a question mark next to a test item to indicate an uncertain answer. The MEF provided students with feedback on test results…

Kim, Bokyeong; Park, Hyungsung; Baek, Youngkyun – Computers & Education, 2009
The purpose of this study is to explore the effects of the meta-cognitive strategies on the academic and gaming achievements. Exploring the effects of those achievements on the social problem solving of students is also of interest. For this purpose, the MMORPG [Massively Multiple Online Role Playing Game] "Gersang" was used. The…

Using Errors as Springboards for Enhancing Mathematical Reasoning with Three Metacognitive Approaches
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Kramarski, Bracha; Zoldan, Sarit – Journal of Educational Research, 2008
The authors examined effects of 3 metacognitive approaches and 1 control group on mathematical reasoning, conceptual errors, and metacognitive knowledge. The metacognitive approaches were (a) diagnosing errors (DIA), (b) improvement via self-questioning (IMP), and (c) a combined approach (DIA+IMP). Controls (CONT) received no metacognitive…

How Can Self-Regulated Learning Be Supported in Mathematical E-Learning Environments?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Kramarski, B.; Gutman, M. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2006
This study compares two E-learning environments: E-learning supported with IMPROVE self-metacognitive questioning (EL+IMP), and E-learning without explicit support of self-regulation (EL). The effects were compared between mathematical problem-solving and self-regulated learning (SRL). Participants were 65 ninth-grade students who studied linear…

A Brain-Compatible Learning Environment for Improving Student Metacognition.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Forget, Mark A.; Morgan, Raymond F. – Reading Improvement, 1997
Finds recent brain research sheds light on roles played by a positive affective environment and the interactive use of language in teaching the learning process through content area classes. Implements these ideas over a 10-month period in a ninth-grade classroom. Compares program students to other ninth graders on measures of metacognitive…

The Impact of Having 9th Graders "Do History"
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Kohlmeier, Jada – History Teacher, 2005
The views of the author's students about history caused her to reflect on her teaching, specifically, what she was lacking in her attempts to teach civic competence through history. This process led her to research historical thinking and design a study in which she exposed her students to the rigors of history. Grant's (2001) study of 9th grade…
