"Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth." -Mike Tyson
Goal: This week students will learn how to be intentionally reflective about their learning process (metacognitive) especially when things don't go the way they planned. By being reflective, students will be able to identify what is and is not working and make any necessary changes to get their desired results in class!
Objective: At the end of module seven students will be able to define metacognition and employ metacognitive practices in their own learning process. Students will fill out an exam-wrapper on Exam 1 which guides them through the metacognitive process including reflection on a semester to-do list that details habits of successful students.
IDEA(2) Focus: Do I experience stereotype threat?
Watch the video below titled "What is Metacognition"
It is very important that students employ metacognitive practices pre, during, and post exams such as:
Pre: student-created exam questions, student-created review sheets, pre-exam knowledge surveys (retrieval practice)
During: During an exam ask yourself "How confident am I in each of these answers on a scale from 0-10?" This has been shown to create more realistic expectations of exam scores in students.
Post: Post-exam self-assessment (this will be the focus of the Personalization Phase) where you are honest with yourself about how you prepared and performed on the exam
Heads up, this is a longer assignment so make sure you have enough time to adequately complete it (around 30 minutes)
Consider an exam that you recently took. We recognized that CHEM103's exams have a different structure than most of your exams so please use one from your other courses. Fill out the following Google Form in reference to the exam you've chosen:
