Accuracy of Metacognitive Monitoring Affects Learning of Texts
نویسندگان
چکیده
Metacognitive monitoring affects regulation of study, and this affects overall learning. The authors created differences in monitoring accuracy by instructing participants to generate a list of 5 keywords that captured the essence of each text. Accuracy was greater for a group that wrote keywords after a delay (delayed-keyword group) than for a group that wrote keywords immediately after reading (immediatekeyword group) and a group that did not write keywords (no-keyword group). The superior monitoring accuracy produced more effective regulation of study. Differences in monitoring accuracy and regulation of study, in turn, produced greater overall test performance (reading comprehension) for the delayedkeyword group versus the other groups. The results are framed in the context of a discrepancy-reduction model of self-regulated study.

Test expectancy affects metacomprehension accuracy.
BACKGROUND Theory suggests that the accuracy of metacognitive monitoring is affected by the cues used to judge learning. Researchers have improved monitoring accuracy by directing attention to more appropriate cues; however, this is the first study to more directly point students to more appropriate cues using instructions regarding tests and practice tests. AIMS The purpose of the present st...
متن کاملInaccurate Metacognitive Monitoring and its Effects on Metacognitive Control and Task Outcomes in Self-Regulated L2 Learning
Accurate metacognitive monitoring of one’s own knowledge or performance is a precondition for selfregulated learning; monitoring informs metacognitive control, which in turn affects task outcomes. Studies of monitoring accuracy and its connection to knowledge and performance are common in psychology and educational research but rare in instructed SLA. This paper describes two studies in which a...

متن کاملElementary School Experience with Comprehension Testing May Influence Metacomprehension Accuracy Among Seventh and Eighth Graders
We explored whether exposure to different kinds of comprehension tests during elementary years influenced metacomprehension accuracy among 7 th and 8 th graders. This research was conducted in a kindergarten through eighth grade charter school with an expeditionary learning curriculum. In literacy instruction, teachers emphasize reading for meaning and inference building, and they regularly ass...
متن کاملLearning Directly From Screen? Oh-No, I Must Print It! Metacognitive Analysis of Digitally Presented Text Learning
Most people, including our survey participants, believe that they learn less efficiently when reading from a computer screen than when reading from paper. We investigated the validity of this belief within a metacognitive framework for self-regulated learning. In three experiments, participants studied expository texts presented on paper or on screen, either in a self-regulated manner, or accor...
