The Importance of Meta-Cognition in Learning

A lot of your work has to do with meta-cognition, which is basically helping people think about how they're thinking. So what advice do you have for teachers who are trying to improve their strategies for learning based on this? You can ask students: How do you think you could go about this? What are your different options? It's a sort of reflection. And through practice and training and activities in the classroom, students can become more meta-cognitive.
