This classroom activity includes a discussion on metacognition and provides an example of classical conditioning in an ad.

In this metacognitive skills lesson plan, students will reflect on exam preparation and outcome. Preparation/study techniques can be adapted by instructors.

This assignment gives students an opportunity to develop their metacognitive skills, with discussion on how the students are using metacognition.

This classroom exercise facilitates a discussion about metacognitive skills through a Think (to yourself), Pair (with others), Share (your insights) game.

Using a “Jeopardy” format, create a game that tests students’ knowledge of brain structures and functions.

Students in three ‘blind’ learning conditions (i.e., rote, vowel, and meaning) will perform a memory task based on one of three written prompts.

Students will use this Experiments Assignment Worksheet to guide them through an experimental design.

This class discussion will have students evaluate which factors may lead to the outcome (e.g., deindividuation, anonymity, samples used in experiment and other social concepts).

This tool will help instructors increase and incorporate metacognition into current assignments.
