Why teach students metacognitive learning strategies?

Problem blem

  • Calculus (math) classes have high

DFW rates.

  • Many students who fail in my calculus

classes lack study skills.

  • Financial aid does not cover study

skills courses taught by our counselors.

Goals ls

  • Help students be more successful in

my calculus class.

  • Help student be more successful in all
  • f their classes.
  • Help students be more successful in

life-long learning.

The need for a long-term view of learning

Optio ion n one: Inclu lude e lots s of conte tent nt

  • Students end up neither caring about

the subject nor learning how to keep

  • n learning
  • What are the chances that students will

either retain what they have learned or make the effort to keep on learning?

  • L. Dee Fink, Creating Significant Learning Experiences

Optio ion n two: Take ke the long ng-te term m view

  • Students … come to care about the

subject and about learning how to keep on learning.

  • It seems much likelier that they will

both retain what they have learned and continue to enlarge their knowledge after the course is over.

The need to create wicked students

Because... ause...

  • Students don’t always go into the fields

they study

  • Or get the jobs they want
  • Or stay in the fields they start in
  • Or stay in the positions they start in
  • The workplace isn’t divided into

“PSYC,” “ENGL,” and “BIOL”

Future Work

1. Teach metacognitive learning strategies in precalculus (Spring 2019) 2. Expand and refine “Tips for Math Success” (on going) 3. Collect data and feedback on effectiveness of teaching metacognitive learning strategies (on going… long-term)
