Session: Session 1
Room: B17 (Basement)
Presentation Type:Workshop Presentation
A strong body of research substantiates the importance of metacognition as a pedagogical approach in supporting student learning. However, the promise of metacognitive approaches in classrooms has yet to be fully realised at scale. Despite increased interest, little research has explored sustained metacognitive programs and/or practices across diverse classroom and school settings. In this workshop, attendees will explore emerging results from a recently developed metacognition project currently underway in hundreds of primary classrooms across 27 schools in 17 countries. Employing a mixed methods research design with a variety of qualitative data sources (school leadership and teacher interviews) and quantitative data sources (secondary analyses of student-level process and outcome data, student and teacher surveys of practices and beliefs), this international sample of participating teachers and classrooms provides a unique and diverse setting for addressing numerous research questions:
-How does project participation lead to increased metacognitive practices? What student-level and classroom-level characteristics are associated with most/least beneficial impacts?
-How do students, teachers, and leadership across diverse educational backgrounds and settings value and view metacognitive practices? How do student-level and classroom-level characteristics relate to perceptions and practices?
Throughout this interactive, data-rich session, we will unpack the concept of metacognition and share efforts to quantify and study implementation and outcomes, particularly focused through the lens of students and teachers. Using state-of-the art data tools, attendees will have first-hand experience of the power of using data to scaffold a metacognitive process of reflection for students; and to visualise growth in metacognition and skills.
