A Pilot Study of Group Administered Metacognitive Training (MCT) for Schizophrenia Patients in a High-Security Forensic Setting: Subjective Training …
2015
Metacognitive group training (MCT) for psychosis has showed promising effects on positive symptoms of schizophrenia, even in forensic settings. Its effect on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) or patient perspective of it has not been studied before in violent inpatients. This pilot study investigated the patient perspective of the MCT, assessed the intervention’s effects on HRQOL compared with the control group, and compared the patients’ HRQOL with that of the general population. Twenty male violent inpatients with schizophrenia participated and were randomized to the eight-session MCT or to treatment as usual. The participants’ HRQOL was assessed at baseline, at posttreatment, and 3 …
Assessing the metacognitive reading awareness of Finnish high school students
2015
Kyky lukea akateemisia tekstejä englannin kielellä on entistä tärkeämpi taito kolmannen asteen koulutuksessa. Pohja tälle taidolle muodostuu toisen asteen koulutuksessa, eli useimmiten lukiossa. Toisen kielen – useimmiten siis englannin – opetussuunnitelman neljäs kurssi keskittyy lukustrategioiden opettamiseen. Lukustrategioita opetetaan, koska niillä on tutkitusti merkitystä etenkin haastavissa toisen kielen teksteissä, joita oppilaat tulevat kohtaamaan. ”Strategia” ymmärretään usein tietoiseksi prosessiksi, jossa lukija on tietoinen käyttäessään strategiaa. Tietoisuuden ollessa mukana puhutaan metakognitiivisista lukustrategioista. Näiden strategioiden käyttöön on luotu kysely, jota tämä…
La consapevolezza metacognitiva degli insegnanti di scuola dell’infanzia nell’uso delle TIC
2018
La metacognizione assume un ruolo significativo nello sviluppo professionale dei docenti. La rilevazione della consapevolezza metacognitiva degli insegnanti nell’uso delle tecnologie didattiche consente di riflettere sul senso e sull’efficacia delle scelte che si operano e, soprattutto, sugli obiettivi che si perseguono. Il presente contributo si prefigge di indagare la consapevolezza metacognitiva degli insegnanti di scuola dell’infanzia durante la realizzazione di un prodotto multimediale. La ricerca è stata condotta nell’anno accademico 2017/18, coinvolgendo 115 inseganti siciliani in servizio frequentanti un corso di formazione riguardante le tecnologie didattiche, della durata compless…
Assessing Metacomprehension and Metacognitive Reading Strategies
2019
The aim of the study was to establish the similarities and differences among existing instruments for measuring metacognition, in particular the awareness of reading comprehension and further to construct an original instrument for measuring features of metacognition, henceforth referred to as the Metacomprehension and Metacognitive Reading Strategies (M&MRS) Inventory. The M&MRS Inventory was distributed to 115 students at University of Palermo. The results revealed a good reliability
THE DEVELOPMENT OF A QUESTIONNAIRE ON METACOGNITION FOR STUDENTS IN SECONDARY SCHOOL
2014
Interest in the role of metacognition has been steadily rising in most forms of education. The present paper focuses on the construction of a questionnaire for measuring metacognitive knowledge, metacognitive regulation and metacognitive responsiveness among Secondary school students and the subsequent process of testing to determine its validity. The questionnaire was administered to 4119 students, (230 school classes) in various types of schools in Palermo, Italy. The general aim of the study was to reveal the effects of teaching specific learning strategies to students on their metacognitive knowledge, their use of metacognitive skills, and their success. The data gathered were analyzed …
Metacognitive Awareness Teaching Tool Kit (MATTK). Reflective teaching for critical thinking and creativity development in classroom.
2016
Situation awareness has long been recognized as an important variable in teacher performance. Research to date has focused on identifying characteristics of situation awareness for individuals, not on the behaviors and processes associated with situation awareness. The purpose of this review is to delineate and identify characteristics of teacher metacognitive awareness. In addition, implications are discussed and research questions are outlined that target the measurement and training of situation awareness. The research has examined the positive correlation between the meta cognitive awareness of teachers and the development of two soft skills (critical thinking and creativity) in student…
The inattentive on-screen reading: Reading medium affects attention and reading comprehension under time pressure
2021
This study explored the influence of reading media and reading time-frame on readers' on-task attention, metacognitive calibration, and reading comprehension. One hundred and forty undergraduates were allocated to one of four experimental conditions varying on the reading medium (in print vs. on screen) and on the reading time-frame (free vs. pressured time). Readers' mindwandering while reading, prediction of performance on a comprehension test, and their text comprehension were measured. In-print readers, but not on-screen readers, mindwandered less on the pressured than in the free time condition, indicating higher task adaptation in print. Accordingly, on-screen readers in the pressured…
Metalinguaggio nella Valutazione dell'Afasia
2019
Metalinguaggio nella Valutazione dell'Afasia (Rosell-Clari & Hernández-Sacristán, 2019) es una versión adaptada al italiano y abreviada de Rosell Clari & Hernández Sacristán, 2014). Esta prueba fue desarrollada inicialmente para evaluar las habilidades metalingüísticas naturales en personas con afasia (Hernández-Sacristán, Rosell-Clari, Serra-Alegre y Quiles-Climent, 2012). Las habilidades metalingüísticas naturales se refieren al uso del lenguaje que revela reflexividad (Hockett, 1960); es decir, la distancia perceptiva del hablante con respecto a su propio comportamiento verbal (Werner & Kaplan, 1978). Esta autoconciencia del lenguaje nos permite monitorear nuestros propios comportamiento…
Si studia meglio con le nuove tecnologie?
