Reddit reviews Teach Students How to Learn: Strategies You Can Incorporate Into Any Course to Improve Student Metacognition, Study Skills, and Motivation

The companion to this book (https://www.amazon.com/dp/162036316X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_Rl5PBb744QVE4) was published first. It outlines a clear strategy and how to help present metacognition to students. It goes into how to help students recognize their responsibility to the learning process. Its intention is to be presented after one of the first exams, since students often receive lower than expected scores. I use the framework from the book for my class, and I had the privilege of meeting with Dr. MCGuire to discuss my implementation and her insights. I highly recommend diving in if you’d like a clear strategy you can implement.

Overall, I do recommend the student version of this book to my students (but don’t require it), and I’ve also scaffolded many metacognitive activities to help students learn how to learn.

edit: spelling

THis book changed everything for me.
