New Ways to Think and Learn with Metacognition
There is a global interest in the development and effectiveness of metacognition which is the concept of “thinking about thinking”. This book marries a powerful reckoning of 33 contributing scholars from the countries of Belize, Canada, England, Malaysia, Russia, Scotland, and 8 states within the United States of America. Techniques and strategies to develop heightened metacognitive behaviours are included in this book. Eighteen chapters comprise topics related to metacognition, such as its interconnectedness with children’s thinking and learning, as evident, for example, in the Montessori Method; how it impacts the lives of culturally and linguistically diverse students; its role in drama, dance, and television programs, including its presence in epistemic trust in educational pedagogy; obsessive-compulsive disorders, and as a bridge to those who are deaf and hard of hearing. Metacognition is everywhere; one can see it, feel it, hear it, move with it, and, if given the opportunity, taste the success of metacognition.
