Building Metacognitive Skills in Calculus (& Beyond)

Abstract: Research links strong metacognitive skills with increased academic and math performance; however, incorporating opportunities for students to learn and practice metacognitive skills within our mathematics courses can be challenging. In this talk, we will explore the literature on metacognition, with a focus on what we as instructors can do to build metacognition into our courses. I will share my own experience building a Weekly Learning Strategy program into a large multi-section calculus course at Yale, and reflect on successes, challenges, and ideas for improvements. We will also think about how to adapt these ideas for early proof-based.
