Een leerkracht vroeg me onlangs wat metacognitie precies betekende en wat de meerwaarde ervan is in het leerproces? Het was het startschot voor een boeiend gesprek over leren. Het was tevens een uitdagende vraag. Ik wil het immers eenvoudig uitleggen zonder afbreuk te doen aan de complexiteit van het begrip. Dit artikel helpt me bij die uitdaging.

Experimentation and Reflection – Modern Workplace Learning Magazine | #Design #LEARNing2LEARN | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Learning is more than just asking questions and getting answers (whether through social media or a search engine), there’s an active component to learning that is too often forgotten. When I look at the tools in the Top 100 tools for learning, I see some reflective tools, e.g. writing, but I may be one of the few who’s talking about diagramming tools, and I think that’s important. Not diagramming, per se, but representation tools that allow us to express our understanding.

So in my mind learning is action and reflection, with two nuances. The first notion is that the action/reflection cycle is the process, not the outcome. The outcome, technically, is a new response to the same stimuli.

 

In short, we act and reflect to develop our ability to do something different and presumably better. The second is that this is separate from instruction, which is designed action and guided reflection.  Self-learning, however, requires self-designed action and self-guided reflection.

Infographic of the Week: 27 Ways to Reflect on Your Teaching | #Reflecting | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
The beginning of a new year typically presents individuals with a designated time and opportunity to reflect upon the events of the past 365 days, to cherish the unforgettable moments, to learn from mistakes or disappointments, and most importantly, to set goals for the next chapter in this adventure we call life. In education, we call these types of behaviors “reflective practice”, or the manner in which teachers step back and evaluate the learning environment.

 

As in any other profession, we assess what was successful, what didn’t work as planned and/or what needs to be adjusted the next time—all in an effort to improve our craft.

With teachers ever increasing to-do list, it's not unheard of to put our reflections on the back burner. This is one of the most important parts of our profession, and we need to make time for it. Here are some ideas on how to reflect!

It's important to take the time to REFLECT on your teaching practice. It's a good practice! And it's from @JoyceValenza. So it's gotta be good, right?

Manuela Mejia's curator insight, August 27, 2016 10:33 AM
The connection between the digital age and the learning process is very interesting since it goes beyond the electronic devices as a learning tool. The author tries to provide some technological strategies in which students improve and give feedback to their learning process. I consider that our goal as teachers is to use technology not only as a device to give academic knowledge, we also need to implement technology as a tool which helps the learner to be autonomous, thoughtful and proactive.

Heutagogy and lifelong learning: heutagogical practice and self-determined learning

Heutagogy and lifelong learning: heutagogical practice and self-determined learning | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Heutagogy and lifelong learning: A review of heutagogical practice and self-determined learning...

 

Heutagogy, a form of self-determined learning with practices and principles rooted in andragogy, has recently resurfaced as a learning approach after a decade of limited attention. In a heutagogical approach to teaching and learning, learners are highly autonomous and self-determined and emphasis is placed on development of learner capacity and capability with the goal of producing learners who are well-prepared for the complexities of today’s workplace. The approach has been proposed as a theory for applying to emerging technologies in distance education and for guiding distance education practice and the ways in which distance educators develop and deliver instruction using newer technologies such as social media.

 

Keywords: Lifelong learning; heutagogy; self-determined learning; andragogy; self-directed learning; social media; capability; competency; double-loop learning; reflection

Thinking about Thinking Optimizes Learning | #LEARNing2LEARN | Psychology Today! | #MetaCognition | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Thinking about Thinking Optimizes Learning

Most teachers know that if students reflect on how they learn, they become better learners. For example, some students may think and process information best in a quiet library; others may focus better surrounded by familiar noise or music. Learning strategies that work for math may be different from those applied in the study of a foreign language. For some, it takes more time to understand biology than chemistry. With greater awareness of how they acquire knowledge, students learn to regulate their behavior to optimize learning. They begin to see how their strengths and weaknesses affect how they perform. The ability to think about one’s thinking is what neuroscientists call metacognition. As students’ metacognitive abilities increase, research suggests they also achieve at higher levels.

Metacognition plays an important role in all learning and life experiences. Beyond academic learning, when students gain awareness of their own mental states, they begin to answer important questions: How do I live a happy life? How do I become a respected human being? How do I feel good about myself? Through these reflections, they also begin to understand other people’s perspectives.

Teaching learners to think about their own "thinking" can be one of the most empowering tools. When learners engage in reflective thinking it develops a growth rather than a fixed mindset.

Samen nadenken met je leerlingen over hun leerproces. Hoe maak jij hier tijd voor? 
CCM Consultancy's curator insight, February 12, 2017 12:39 AM

"Critical reflection is an important part of any learning process. Without reflection, learning becomes only an activity — like viewing a reality TV show — which was never meant to have meaning, but was only meant to occupy time"

The time has come for the media to review their current practices and demand utmost integrity from themselves and their people. I long for a day when the news media awaken to their conscience and accept responsibility as gatekeepers of the truth. It’s time for them to understand the vital role they play and to ensure that every member lives according to the highest standards of honor and integrity. The late Edward R. Murrow, one of journalism’s great figures, said, “To be credible we must be truthful.” The media have a moral duty and an obligation to live by that principle. Truth is not an option. It’s a necessity!

The Art of Reflection: What you need to do to improve your practice

The Art of Reflection: What you need to do to improve your practice | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Reflective Teaching is a habit of mind that requires consciously thinking about how teaching practices impact students’ learning.

 

Reflection is a tool to self-assess your practice. Once you have collected this information, plan a course of action so that you can implement change.  You might decide to find more research on an area where you need improvement, attend a conference, or read magazines or books related to the topic for which you are seeking information.  

 

Once you begin to implement changes be sure you take the time to reflect once again.

 

===> Reflection is a continuous cycle that begins once you develop the habit of mind to think about your practice. <===
