Workshop: Facilitating Metacognition in the College Classroom
Presenter: Jennifer Eidum Zinchuk – Elon University
Often defined as ‘thinking about thinking,’ metacognition is more than reflection. This workshop reconceptualizes metacognition as an integrated, ongoing constellation of learning practices which are sensory and social. Facilitating metacognitive practices like integrated reflection, emotional engagement, active learning, and developing strategies supports students’ self-initiated learning throughout their lives.
