Noticed that students who plan, monitor, and evaluate their own thinking are more likely to perform better academically? These metacognitive practices are linked with self-regulated learning and improved academic outcomes for students. Likewise, in an active learning environment, students are empowered to construct knowledge and become increasingly aware of their own learning process. In this session, participants will explore specific active learning techniques that both engage students cognitively, as well as prompt students to engage their metacognitive skills.
