Overview
Download the self-assessment surveys and complete these metacognitive assessments. Tally your scores on each version. Complete the metacognitive self-assessment surveys ( one and two).
Compare your responses to the reported averages: Knowledge (69) Regulation (138)
- Use these results to evaluate your study approaches. Write and submit a reflection about your results.
As you complete these activities: Read each statement carefully. Consider whether the statement is true or false as it generally applies to you when you are in the role of a learner (student, attending classes, doing homework, taking exams, etc.).
Assess your learning strategies on a scale of 1–5 (where 5 is "agree strongly").
- Your responses to the surveys are confidential and will not be used for any purpose other than for your own self-assessment.
- After you have completed the survey, tally up your scores in each part and compare them to reported averages.
Comparison to Reported Averages: Knowledge (69) Regulation (138)
In previous studies, it was found that most students are able to acquire "Knowledge of Cognition" (Part 1) skills more easily. However, "Regulation of Cognition" (Part 2) strategies are not that easy to acquire, and most often students need to continue to practice these skills.
Goal setting is an important step in developing metacognitive study skills. Reflect on your self-assessment results and get some personal goals to improve your Regulation of Cognition strategies.
Write a reflection \. Be sure to address each of the following categories:
Include your scores to self-assessment surveys 1 and 2
Reflect on your strengths and weaknesses.
Set some goals that address the metacognitive categories below:
Planning, goal setting, and allocating resources before learning
Managing information using summarizing, organizing, elaborating tasks
