Metacognition

I am very happy with my grade and I have enjoyed freshman composition. The day I first walked into class, I thought that I was going to fail. Freshman composition was my only college class of the semester and this made me think that it was going to be a tough semester. I was expecting to get a B in this class and I did. Also I thought that Ms. Scarbrough was going to be hard on use because this was a college class, but she was not. She was very nice to us, answered any questions we had, and…

Introduction & Hypothesis Bagcioglu, E., Altunoluk, B., Bez, Y., Soylemez, H., Asik, A., & Emul, M. (2012) note that premature ejaculation (PD) and erectile dysfunction (ED) have been related to anxiety. Bagcioglu et al. hypothesized patients with premature ejaculation (PE) or erectile dysfunction (ED) would develop and endorse a distorted metacognitive function causing PE or ED. It was also hypothesized that patients may ejaculate faster or have impaired erection due to preoccupation with…

During an ELL class, one spent time observing a mentor teacher take students through various ELL lessons. The teacher was keen to help the students with limited English language and literacy skills better understand the content of the lessons. One observed that the students lacked the basic literacy skills to comprehend grade-level content. A template was made to gather information regarding teacher practice that was necessary in assessing the implementation of instructional strategies for the…

In order to reflect on what i have learned in Organizational Behavior, i think it is important that we establish two definitions of learning. The first pertains to an academic setting in which i believe learning is merely the ability to learn exactly how to learn. We are creating mental schemas to eventually create knowledge. For example, in grade school they teach you how to read and write, creating a mental schema. Eventually, that same mental schema is turned into an epistemological schema…

Demands of Modern Life, Robert Kegan (1994) introduces his readers to the concept of the “constructive-developmental theory”. This theory is used to help identify and explain an individual’s developmental evolution as a result of their qualitative metacognition and ability to “construct meaning” from irreconcilable differences, perspectives, and experiences leading to a transformational shift in how they see themselves and the world around them. Kegan compartmentalizes this theory into five…

Reflecting on my background and experiences of reading and writing defines my level of preparedness and comfort for college. By self-assessing my readiness…

to express mathematical thinking in regards to solving problems. Furthermore, the explanation of the problem, states in many cases, students are only given the opportunity to provide the answer and not to explain their mathematical thinking or metacognition. Thus, this research targets using mathematical communication to explain their mathematical thinking by communicating their methods using math journals. The importance of this process of expressing mathematical thinking…
