Writing and Reflecting on Learning –

Metacognition is a hot new term in education. Basically it is the thinking about our thinking.  It is important for a person to set goals, and analyze how closely they have reached their goals.  It is also important for  a student to be reflective on what they know, what they may be confused about, and what they don’t know.  It is only when we can look into a mirror to evaluate and reflect on our own learning process, will we be able to move forward in our learning.  More and more teachers are beginning to use reasoning books with their students.
