We want to bring your attention to a GSA session that we are organizing
for the meeting in Portland this fall. GSA abstract deadline is August
11.
T114. 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. This session
explores approaches and challenges to teaching metacognition and
self-regulation within the earth sciences.
