Becoming a self-regulated learner involves more than simply studying hard. It requires a range of metacognitive skills that enable learners to create a plan, monitor their progress, and evaluate their performance against a learning objective. These abilities include self-awareness, cognitive strategies, and study skills.

In this article, Third Space Learning will delve into the significance of metacognition in assisting pupils in becoming self-regulated learners. Third Space Learning will also provide the teaching model recommended by the EEF to teach metacognitive skills, with real examples from Third Space Learning's maths intervention.


What are metacognitive skills?

Metacognitive skills are the ability to think about our own thinking and the processes we use to learn. These thinking processes enable students to set goals, select strategies to enhance their learning experiences, and use self-assessment or self-questioning to monitor their own learning.
