from infant to NOW .. your center always being confronted with new Encapsulated Knowledge Units (EKUs)
until one has used the tools of metacognition to be able to integrate them into the more complex reality

Tools for metacognition

Posted on June 28, 2010 | 9 Comments

Metacognition is an important part of intentional learning, .. http://sites.google.com/site/elearningsnippets/a-wiki-page/intentional-learning .. since it involves actively thinking about what you know, what you don’t know, and how you can get better at knowing and applying what you know.



A mantra for metacognition

* State the learning problem with some specificity: identify what you want to know and what you want to do with that knowledge

* Choose strategies to solve the learning problem—draw upon your own prior knowledge and the knowledge of others

* Observe how you used the strategies—keep a learning journal or blog

* Evaluate the results: What worked? What didn’t work?

* Rinse and repeat: Apply successful strategies to new learning problems

By definition, metacognition involves individual commitment and reflection. However, research suggests that a learner’s ability to learn can be increased when an instructor spends some time discussing and helping students to use metacognitive strategies (Azevedo & Cromley, 2004; Scruggs, 1985).

Aside: re never losing your center .. we are losing our local corner store .. Mario, the
husband fractured his hip some time ago, he is back walking again, but it is all too hard
for he and Francis now so he is selling .. the other day Francis said, "Look at me, i am crying"
.. as she wiped her tears away .. it is very sad to see small business people doing it so hard ..

It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
