The book illustrates how Lesson Study can be applied to craft
metacognitive teaching strategies to enhance students' learning to learn
competencies. Based on the findings of an empirical study of a
university-funded teaching development project, this book reports how to
apply Lesson Study and Learning Study to enhance teachers' metacognitive
teaching competencies with a view to tackling the impacts and challenges
created by and underlying the learning to learn curriculum.
The book allows readers to experience metacognitive learning by sorting
the prior knowledge on the metacognition, setting the goal and planning
reading schedule, checking their understanding and progress, evaluating
what they have or have not learned and reflected on their reading
experience and feelings. Readers can grasp the key concept underpinning
metacognitive teaching, including teaching strategies for developing
students' metacognitive abilities that include working on
problem-solving activities, working on small collaborative groups,
making metacognitive and learning strategies explicit, and encouraging
students to reflect upon and talk about their learning.
