Metacognition: Yeah, I’ve Heard Of That

Metacognition, DefinedEarly thinkers:

W. James (“introspective observation”)J. Piaget (“directed thought”)L. Vygotsky (“inner speech” and “reflective consciousness”)

J. Flavell: “Metacognition refers to one’s knowledge concerning one’s own cognitive processes and products or anything related to them, e.g., the learning-relevant properties of information or data.” (1976)

Nat’l Research Council: “Metacognition also includes self-regulation—the ability to orchestrate one’s learning: to plan, monitor, and correct errors when appropriate—all necessary for effective intentional learning…[It] also refers to the ability to reflect on one’s own performance.” (2000)

Metacognition: Our Working Definition

Awareness and agency regarding the content and process of one’s own thinking.

Deep Learning involves metacognitive activities/skills.

The Difference

Page 17: The Self-Aware Agent: How Digital Storytelling ePortfolios Cultivate Metacognition

Stories can better capture the essence of deep learning and make

metacognitive skills visible.

Singularity

The exact point in human history where machines will supersede humans

-- John Van Neuman

Expected to occur sometime between 2030 and 2050.

Robotic Age

“Today, gushing flows of information are not only fueling vast networks of knowledge, they’re allowing us to tinker with the very building blocks of life, exposing biology to advances in machinery, and machinery to advances in biology. We’re entering a period of increasing human-machine collaboration, made possible by information, but also transcending it.”

- Metaskills: 5 Talents for the Robotic Age

by Marty Neumeier, 2013

21st Century World

Our world: increasing order, complexity, and beauty.

*What kind of learners will flourish in such a world? *What kinds of knowledge and skills will be required to navigate whatever is on the other side of the Industrial Age, what Marty Neumeier calls the “Robotic Age”?

Page 25: The Self-Aware Agent: How Digital Storytelling ePortfolios Cultivate Metacognition

Robotic Age Jobs

The best jobs in the Robotic Age will come from creative people who put social contribution ahead of compensation. Employers don’t want employees to be robots. They have robots. Robotic Age jobs require:

innovation creativity integrative thinking cognitive dexterity self-regulated learning & adaptationcommunication-richworking in teams

Successful students take charge of their own learning--●they construct understanding ●they ask questions ●they seek answers●they reflect on the meaning of information and experience ●they monitor and adapt their thinking and doing●they represent their learning to others

Sample Metacognitive PromptsFor an ePortfolio…

Page 31: The Self-Aware Agent: How Digital Storytelling ePortfolios Cultivate Metacognition

Is Writing Applied Metacognition? • “I write entirely to find out what I’m thinking, what I’m looking at,

what I see and what it means.” --Joan Didion

• “Writing is the production of thought for oneself or others under the direction of one’s goal-directed metacognitive monitoring and control, and the translation of that thought into an external symbolic representation.”

--Hacker, Keener, & Kircher

• ePortfolios: a certain kind of “external symbolic representation.”

Digital Icebreakers

Prepare a Visual Resume/Introduction to be shared with the class.  The Visual Resume should tell who you are as a person (hometown, major(s), strengths, what you do for fun, what you’re passionate about, social media platforms used), as a learner (learning style, best learning experience), and as a professional (goals in life, perfect job), using a digital platform of your choice, e.g., prezi, slideshare, youtube, glogster.  Please limit yourself to about 20 slides/2 minutes.
