Think at GC: The Metacognition Project

Link to the Vanderbilt University's Center for Teaching discussing what metacognition is and how to put it into practice

Metacognition is the ability to think about and regulate one’s own thoughts. Teaching metacognitive strategies can improve learners’ performance at school. This makes it a good, evidence-based target for intervention.

This web site primarily focuses on the process of learning academic materials and skills, with an emphasis on metacognition related to learning within the higher education environment. A second emphasis will be the process of teaching, i.e. metacognitive instruction.

PERTS helps educators apply evidence-based strategies in order to advance educational excellence and equity on a large scale. We believe that properly scaling educational research can empower schools to reduce inequality and create better experiences and outcomes for students and teachers alike.
