That’s so Meta(cognitive)! — investigates how explicitly teaching students metacognitive strategies helps them become more effective learners, able to integrate knowledge rather than just memorize isolated science facts and definitions.
Embark on an enlightening journey with "That's So Meta(cognitive)!", an innovative online workshop designed by the Smithsonian Science Education Center (SSEC) in collaboration with FableVision Studios. This course, part of the "Science of Teaching Science" series, is a game-changer for K-12 science educators seeking to revolutionize their teaching methods and enhance student learning outcomes.
Dive deep into the world of metacognition, a crucial skill that empowers students to become self-directed learners and critical thinkers. This workshop, based on the animated series "Good Thinking!", provides educators with cutting-edge strategies to foster reflective thinking skills and implement science and engineering practices in their classrooms.
No prior knowledge or skills are required to participate in this workshop. It is designed as an introductory-level course, making it accessible to all educators interested in enhancing their teaching methods.
The skills acquired in this workshop are immediately applicable in the classroom, allowing educators to:
Explore more courses to enhance your cloud computing and Kubernetes skills.
Learn how to implement evidence-based teaching strategies in your university classroom as well as effective methods for assessing teaching and learning. Note: This CIRTL course is hosted by Cornell University on the EdX platform, but content, instruction, and course management are supported by the CIRTL Network.
This course encourages educators to engage students with the Smithsonian Institution’s experts and collections (both tangible and digital), as they follow Montgomery College-Smithsonian Faculty (MCSF) Fellows on their virtual 2021 series, “Addressing 21st-Century Challenges.”
