What Can We do to Help Our Students Become Better Learners? Fostering the Development of Metacognition and Self-Regulation.* Sponsored by GSA Geoscience Education Division; National Association of Geoscience Teachers (NAGT). Organized by Dexter Perkins and Karl R. Wirth. Metacognition, knowledge and regulation of one's thinking and learning, plays a critical role in learning, yet is often overlooked.
