Metacognition is broadly defined as “thinking about one’s own thinking”. Metacognitive ability correlates with academic performance and can be enhanced through interventions embedded in teaching. This innovative workshop will explore how HE educators can use metacognition to enhance students’ success at university and prepare them to be reflective and flexible graduates. We will use “think aloud” commentaries of problem solving to analyse cognitive processes. Participants will gain experience in this metacognitive technique and develop teaching activities to support their students’ metacognitive development and prepare them for navigating a constantly changing world.
