Metacognition 101: A Student’s Quick Guide

Bearded guy holding white cloud-shaped paper by KamranAydinov on magnific.com

Salutations my disgruntled colleagues! We’re keeping it simple today. 7 questions for your students to contemplate during lesson.

  1. How should I begin this task?
  2. Is there anything that confuses me?
  3. Can I explain this in my own words?
  4. Do I need my teacher’s help?
  5. Why did I make this mistake?
  6. Can I use what I just learned somewhere else?
  7. What can I improve next time?

Voila! Use these questions in class. Have your students think. Inspire them to own their learning process.

By the way, if you haven’t read my article about Metacognition yet, you’re just a click away! : https://katherinereilly.blog/2025/12/11/metacognition-thinking-about-thinking-em-dashes-included/
