Dynamic Learning: Metacognition

Over 30 years of educational research has shown that metacognition – an awareness of how we think – helps students take more control over their learning, improve their grades and become more independent and confident learners.

Yet the majority of students still spend the majority of their study time thinking about what – rather than how – they’re learning.

In this short film we show you how to combine the two using three simple interrelated processes – planning, monitoring and reflecting – that can boost your understanding of whatever subjects you’re studying.
