We’ve created four printable workbooks that aim to foster metacognition, self-regulated learning behaviours and general student reflection in relation to the learning process.
They are useful because they provide regularity and structure to students’ metacognitive reflections as well as visible evidence of metacognition and self-regulation that can be used by teachers/educators for determining the needs of their students.
Each of the workbooks has a slightly different approach and this article summarises how to use it each one. The first two are substantial (100+ page) workbooks and have a more comprehensive scope, whereas the latter two are printable booklets with a more narrow scope.
1) The Learning Power Journal (download here)
· Structured metacognition diary
· Daily quick reflection activities & discussions
· Ideal for form-time
· Also great for home-learning
Our most popular printable workbook is ‘The Learning Power Journal’ (downloadable here) which includes short (10 minute) daily reflection activities designed to trigger metacognition, foster self-regulated learning behaviours and boost learning power.
The clear structure, variety of activities and engaging design make it ideal for short daily reflections that students can engage with at the start of each school day. Using The Learning Power Journal is an ideal solution for school-leaders who need a visible, regular and well-structured solution to developing metacognition across a large cohort of learners. Metacognitive reflections tasks and activities are structured for a day-by-day, week-by-week practice that covers the entire school year.
