Metacognition and Learning How to Learn Online – Preparing for Fall Teaching in Physically Distanced, Hybrid, or Remote Courses — from prawfsblawg.blogs.com

Excerpt:

Here are some specific metacognition prompts that you can also use, either through polling software or reflection that students do on their own:

  • What helped you learn in the spring when classes went online? What practices or strategies do wish you had adopted?
  • If you were to do [name specific assignment] again, what would you do differently? What would you do in the same way?
  • Think about today’s class. What strategies did you use to prepare? How do you think they worked? What other strategies would you like to try?
  • What does fully preparing for class include for you? Create a list of the things you want to do on your own to understand the material before coming to class.
  • If you were to spend 30 minutes after class reflecting on what we learned today, what specific things would you do during this time?
  • What are your goals for this course in light of your larger motivation in coming to law school?
  • What have you done so far this semester that has helped you to achieve these goals? What specific strategies could you try to help you achieve these goals?
