BOLD explores… Children's metacognition
BOLD Esplora la metacognizione infantile con Alicia Forsberg
Che aspetto ha e come funziona il metacognizione develop in children? How can metacognition help children’s learning day to day? Can caregivers support children’s metacognition at home?
BOLD sat down with Alicia Forsberg, Lecturer in Cognitive and Developmental Psychology at the University of Sheffield, to find out.
Quali strategie favoriscono la metacognizione?
Gli educatori e gli operatori sanitari possono utilizzare queste strategie per supportare la metacognizione dei bambini:
• Give learners metacognitive prompts to help them monitor their progress in a task, like “What’s my goal?” or “Am I on the right track?”
• Turn learning targets into questions like “Which multiplication strategy works best for me?”
• Utilizzate schede didattiche, brevi quiz o sessioni di "riempimento improvviso" per aiutare i bambini a ricordare le informazioni e a verificare le loro conoscenze.
• At the end of a lesson or task, ask children to reflect on what they learned, what they’re still unsure about, or which strategies helped most.
• Encourage older students to experiment, for example through taking regular short breaks or practising recall, and think about the affect on their learning.
