The Effect of Metacognitive Training on the Mathematical Word Problem Solving of Lower Achievers in a Computer Environment
نویسنده
چکیده
This study demonstrates that explicit metacognitive training appear to benefit lower achievers’ mathematical word problem solving in a computer environment. 11 to 12year-old Singaporean students in collaborative pairs were assigned to two word problem solving groups. The first group received explicit metacognitive training before word problem solving with WordMath (treatment); and the second group undertook word problem solving with WordMath (control). Results from the analysis of pair think aloud protocol data suggest that treatment lower achievers appeared to be more successful and elicited better regulated metacognitive decisions than control lower achievers.
