Smart Thinking - Developing reflection and metacognition

Reflection and metacognition are important aspects of the thinking and learning processes. Through the use of reflection and metacognition, learners develop an awareness of what helps and hinders their learning and thus their development as independent learners. Effective thinking involves the learner in making connections between prior and new learning and thinking; questioning and self-questioning; self assessment and goal setting.

Smart Thinking is a practical resource that helps teachers:

• Identify the characteristics of reflection and metacognitive thinking.
• Organise the classroom environment for effective learning.
• Plan and implement teaching and learning experiences that incorporate reflection and metacogntion.
• Assess student use of individual thinking processes.
• Introduce ideas and activities for developing the skills of reflection and metacognition.

Finally we have a comprehensive resource that will provide answers for developing thinking skills and strategies in everyday classrooms.
