The article for this week share interesting information about Metacognitive process and learning Autonomy. Something I learned from this article was the Metacognitive approach that may contribute to making students become self-regulated learners; it means that metacognition has to do with students' awareness of their own cognitive process and the regulation of these processes in order to achieve their goals in present or in future performance. Another relevant aspect for me is the Autonomy learning; it means that students who are allowed to set their own learning goals and analyze their progress show signs of becoming autonomous. For example when the teacher assign a homework to students and they didn't understand something relevant to the topic they started to search on the Internet and they learned that information by themself, and the article defined this process as "autonomy".
Moreover, the article presented how ICT and metacognition activities such are useful for students to develop their thinking skills. I will have in mind some activities from the article planning, setting goals, controlling performances and solving problem as activities that can be used to promote autonomy because those kind of activities can be increase the use of ICT in the classroom . To conclude, all these strategies among ICT encourage students learning process.
ICT (Information and communication technology)
Hi Melany! I felt really excited reading your blog since you were focused on very importants points about the reading for this week. As you mentioned there, metacognitive approach and autonomy learning are two aspects very important in the teaching field. I consider very important to keep them in mind and developed with our future students in order to help them become autonomous people and introduce on their minds activities that could make them feel comfortable and capable to do their assigments by their own but also to ecourage them to get succes in an easy way, because when you introduce the knowledge in their cognitive level then its become easier for the kids to reach their goals. Moreover, ICT nowadays are tools that we cannot avoid at all in our classes because this offers all we need for keep ours students interested and get fun each day. My recomendation for you is to never forget to be a fashion teacher, because you are going to have fashion students and as technology is increasing and changing we have to do it as well.

DeleteHello Melani,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your reflections. I agree with Natalia because you have explained very well the main points from the article.
I also agree that the concept of metacognition is truly important for us to know. We really want to help our students to be aware of their own learning processes because only then, they will be able to take the most advantange from their learning process.
Imagine you are teaching to 2nd graders, how would recommend to introduce these students to metacognition?
Continue working like this Malani! You're doing excellent!
Hi teacher, thanks to comment my blog well, to introduce metacognition at those ages i would star to bring them activities that help to my students to improve their cognitive skill using ICT for example puzzles, diferent pictures in which they identify if something is missing.
