Describe four important findings that have resulted from research examining metacognition.
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

Four students comment after they walk out of one of their college lectures. I didn't get a thing out of it today, Emma comments. I was up half the night, and I couldn't stay awake.
  I moved up to the front of the room, so I could see the screen better, Ryan responds. He's always showing stuff on the document camera, and I've had a hard time seeing the small print in some of his lectures.
  I love this stuff, Mia comments. This is a great class, and he makes it very interesting. I like seeing how European history has influenced our own history.
  Yuk, Lucas retorts. I feel just the opposite. I'm just waiting for this class to be over. He's a good instructor, but I have no interest in European history.
  The student who most nearly demonstrates metacognition is:
 
  a. Emma.
  b. Ryan.
  c. Mia.
  d. Lucas.

Answer to Question 1

First, metacognition plays an essential role in classroom learning, and it can improve cognition without significant increases in work or effort. Second, metacognition depends on task difficulty. When tasks are difficult, the cognitive load on working memory may be too great to allow effective metacognitive monitoring. Third, neither studentsincluding college studentsnor adults are particularly good at metacognitive monitoring, but metacognition can be improved significantly by directly teaching and modeling metacognitive skills. And, fourth, metacognition is relatively independent of general academic ability.
