Brief statement of principle

Support metacognition in the context of problem solving using established principles of cognitive tutoring.

Description of principle

Instruction should yield a persistent effect on students meta-cognitive skills in a fashion that persists beyond the scope of the tutored environment. That is, the tutored practice should help students become better at learning.

This is the common effect of tutoring at the cognitive level - for example, students remember Pythagorean theorem also outside the specific instructional unit. Therefore, perhaps meta-cognitive tutoring could use established principles of cognitive tutoring.


Operational definition

Meta-cognitive tutoring should:

  • Giving direct instruction
  • Giving immediate feedback on errors
  • Prompting for self-assessment

Examples

Experimental support

So far we were not able to confirm (or dispute) this principle.

Laboratory experiment support

In vivo experiment support

Our current results show that meta-cognitive tutoring yields better meta-cognitive behavior within the tutored environment, but fail to generate a persistent effect (i.e., better meta-cognitive behavior in a novel context) or better domain learning (as evaluated using pre- and post-tests).
