63.033 - Scaffolding Metacognition

Sun, April 19, 12:25 to 1:55pm, Marriott, Floor: Sixth Level, Northwestern/Ohio State

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

In educational research a variety of scaffolding approaches have been developed in order to support student’s metacognition when interacting with learning technologies. Such techniques vary between using computers as a mere tool up to computer-based learning environments with integrated scaffolds. The latter is the genuine theme of this symposium that gathers different approaches of scaffolding metacognition and analyses their constraints, predictors and effectiveness. Within this symposium a review and analysis of existing will be provided. Furthermore, different methods and techniques used to scaffold the complex nature of metacognition will be introduced and discussed. Finally, implications about how the research presented here can be used to assess, model, and foster students’ metacognition to enhance learning and performance will be discussed.
