Many students struggle in college not because of lack of ability, but because they have not been taught the critical thinking skills required for success. These skills can be increased rapidly and substantially by teaching students metacognitive learning strategies. This session will discuss definitions of metacognition and metacognitive equity and present causes for the metacognitive equity gap seen on many college campuses. Participants will engage in activities to demonstrate strategies that transform students’ attitudes about the meaning of learning. This leads to improved critical thinking skills, greater confidence, and increased motivation.
