Analysis
Abstraction
What you did is an exercise of metacognition. You stopped for a moment and thought about how
you study or learn.
We do metacognitive activities so often in our daily lives. When you sense that you are
experiencing some difficulty with a topic you are studying, and you try out different strategies to
learn better, you are practicing metacognition.
Metacognition was coined by John Flavell. Also known as “thinking about thinking”, this refers
to higher order thinking which involves active awareness and control over the cognitive
processes engaged in learning.
Here are some examples of teaching strategies to develop metacognition and facilitate learning.
TQLR - this can be thought to your younger students like primary graders. It is a metacognitive
strategy before listening to a story or presentation.
T is for tune-in. It is first important for the learner himself to be aware that he is paying attention
and that he is ready to learn.
Q is for question. The learner is given questions or he thinks of questions about what he will
soon learn.
L is for listen. The learners intentionally exert effort to listen. He becomes aware if he is
momentarily distracted and goes back to listen again.
R is for remember. The learner uses ways or strategies to remember what was learned.
PQ4R - this is for older students in the intermediate level and onwards. This strategy is used to
study a unit or chapter.
P - Preview. Scan the whole chapter before delving on each paragraph. Look for outlines or
advance organizers that will give you an idea about the important topics.
R - Read. Check out sub headings as you read. Pay attention on words that are printed in bold or
italicized. Find out the meaning of words that are not clear to you. Use a marker or colored
pencil to highlight important words or phrases. Do not highlight the whole paragraph!
R - Review. Pinpoint topics you may need to go back to and read in order to understand better.
R - Reflect. Think about what you read. Is everything clear to you? How relevant or useful is this
to you?
3. Have students make the diction about information to be presented next based on what they
have read.
5. Have students develop questions; ask questions of themselves, about what's going on around
them.
7. Show students how to transfer knowledge attitudes heels to other situations or tasks.
