Metacognition
http://chiron.valdosta.edu/whuitt/col/cogsys/metacogn.html
Developed by: William G. Huitt
"Metacognition includes the ability to ask and answer the following types of questions:
What do I know about this subject, topic, issue?
Do I know what do I need to know?
Do I know where I can go to get some information, knowledge?
How much time will I need to learn this?
What are some strategies and tactics that I can use to learn this?
Did I understand what I just heard, read or saw?
How will I know if I am learning at an appropriate rate?
How can I spot an error if I make one?
How should I revise my plan if it is not working to my expectations/satisfaction?"
Methods of Study
http://chiron.valdosta.edu/whuitt/col/cogsys/sq4r.html
Study strategies: SQ3R, SQ4R
Comprehension: Bloom's Taxonomy
http://www.ops.org/reading/blooms_taxonomy.html
Application to Reading
"For any assigned reading selection, develop questions that reflect the progression of thinking and responding from the literal level to the evaluative. Not all levels need to be developed for every selection. Consider a range that will lead the student to the greater purpose of reading."
