THE EDUCATIONAL EFFECTS OF METACOGNITIVE LEARNING AWARENESS ON UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
2016
The importance of metacognition has been discussed extensively by numerous researchers. Most of the studies on metacognition generally focus on the approaches to foster metacognition or on assessing metacognition. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of metacognitive awareness and learning strategies on student success in Pre-Primary and Primary Education degree course in University of Palermo. The data was gathered from 700 undergraduate students through MAI Metacognitive Awareness Inventory[1] and ALM Awareness Learning Metacognitive [2]. The results showed that Metacognitive awareness and learning strategies have an important role on students’ academic success and they dem…
Metamemoria
2019
La memoria ha una rilevanza indiscutibile nei processi di apprendimento, in quanto ci permette di assimilare, ritenere e richiamare ciò che abbiamo appreso tramite l’esperienza e, su questa base, organizzare le nuove informazioni e conoscenze. In particolare, la memoria di lavoro (ML), in stretta connessione con quella a breve termine, ci permette di usare le informazioni immagazzinate temporaneamente per l’esecuzione di compiti cognitivi complessi. La ricerca ha inoltre dimostrato che buoni livelli di ML si correlano a un apprendimento efficace.Rivolto a bambini e ragazzi dai 6 ai 13 anni, Metamemoria rappresenta una proposta efficace e accattivante per il potenziamento della memoria nelle…
LEARNING STYLES AND METACOGNITION
2014
In this paper we introduce the results of a research that involved 60 primary school pupils. Attention is drawn to a relevant issue in instructional research: the potential value to learners of metacognitive awareness. Some implications of these issues for learning styles research are then discussed. The purpose of this study was to investigate how students perceive learning and their learning styles preferences. Through a reflection on relations between the personalization of education and knowledge of learning styles, we will emphasize how the very important issue, for a teacher, is to create his own working knowledge on his students' learning styles, if he really wants effectively stimul…
Diferencias en habilidades y conducta entre grupos de preescolares de alto y bajo rendimiento escolar
2014
Resumen basado en el del autor Título, resumen y palabras clave en español e inglés Disponible la versión en inglés Se analiza la relación entre variables psicológicas y rendimiento escolar en niños preescolares. Se ha seleccionado un conjunto de variables cognitivas y conductuales, que según la bibliografía más actualizada se relacionan con el aprendizaje escolar, con el fin de identificar los factores que parecen influir en el rendimiento educativo en la etapa infantil. La meta final es intentar prevenir problemas de rendimiento futuros mediante la identificación temprana de estas variables en los niños que parecen presentar bajo rendimiento. La muestra se compone de 47 niños: 23 con alto…
La Didattica metacognitiva
2015
La didattica metacognitiva converge nel proporre uno sviluppo pieno delle capacità di ciascuno studente: l'orientamento centrato sull'alunno promuove un comportamento attivo e consapevole. Imparando a conoscere e controllare i propri processi cognitivi, volitivi ed affettivo - motivazionali, si acquisiscono anche gli elementi di base per orientarsi nella complessità del mondo attuale. The metacognitive didactics converge in proposing a full development of the abilities of each student: the orientation centered on the student promotes an active and conscious behavior. By learning to know and control their cognitive, volitive and affective - motivational processes, the basic elements are also…
Educational Robotics to Improve Mathematical and Metacognitive Skills
2017
This paper describes the use of robotic kits as tools in developing mathematical and metacognitive skills, as the planning, reasoning and problem solving capabilities in young students. A sample of 30 students involved in an extracurricular laboratory based on robotics activities (10 meetings; three hours each, once a week). Quantitative and qualitative data showed that robotics activities may be intended as a new metacognitive environment that allows students to improve the attitude in mathematics, or increase the propensity to reflect on themselves and on their own learning, and higher-level control components, such as forecasting, planning, monitoring and evaluation exercises and problem…
Rethinking clinical decision-making to improve clinical reasoning
2022
Improving clinical reasoning techniques is the right way to facilitate decision-making from prognostic, diagnostic, and therapeutic points of view. However, the process to do that is to fill knowledge gaps by studying and growing experience and knowing some cognitive aspects to raise the awareness of thinking mechanisms to avoid cognitive errors through correct educational training. This article examines clinical approaches and educational gaps in training medical students and young doctors. The authors explore the core elements of clinical reasoning, including metacognition, reasoning errors and cognitive biases, reasoning strategies, and ways to improve decision-making. The article addres…
INTERCOMPRENSIÓN COMO HERRAMIENTA PARA SUPERAR LAS BARRERAS LINGÜÍSTICAS: HACIA UNA DIDÁCTICA DE LA INTERCOMPRENSIÓN
2022
The objective of this article is to emphasize the validity of the Intercomprehension not only as a communication practice and strategy but also as a linguistic policy and ethics for the development of multilingualism, that si to say ti si a teaching method used to overcome language barriers.

In fact, the Intercomprehension can contribute to the construction of a sense of belonging to an European community through th…
Use of Robotics kits for the Enhancement of Metacognitive Skills of Mathematics: a Possible Approach.
2011
The present study is aimed at analyzing the process of building and programming robots as a metacognitive tool of mathematics. Quantitative data from a study performed on a sample of students attending an Italian secondary school are described. Results showed that robotics activities may be used as a new metacognitive environment allowing students to improve their attitude towards mathematics, and to increase their attitude to reflect on themselves and on their own learning, and their higher-level control components, such as forecasting, planning, monitoring and evaluation exercises and problems related to implementation.
Metacognizione e comprensione della lettura: quale rapporto?
2019
Una lettura competente implica l’utilizzo di specifiche strategie meta-cognitive e molteplici livelli di elaborazione delle informazioni che, se impiegate in modo consapevole, migliorano la comprensione. In que-sto lavoro si presenta un approfondimento sulla relazione tra metaco-gnizione, thinking aloud e comprensione della lettura, che si colloca all’interno alla ricerca nazionale RC-RT descritta in questo stesso vo-lume e volta a verificare l’efficacia del Reciprocal Teaching nel contesto italiano. Dopo aver presentato alcune ricerche svolte su allievi di età diverse finalizzati ad evidenziare il rapporto tra la comprensione della lettura e le abilità di secondo livello, raggruppate sotto…
