This document discusses metacognition and ways to develop metacognitive skills in students. It defines metacognition, explains why it is important, and outlines a whole-school approach including staff training, lessons for students, and identifying those most in need of support. Key aspects are developing metacognitive awareness, providing opportunities to plan, monitor, and evaluate learning, and using surveys to identify students for targeted intervention programs.

Editor's Notes
We looked to the educational literature to see what kinds of factors might influence the appraisal of fear appeals. CVT and EVT both suggest that subjective task value and academic self-efficacy or expectancy of success are key variables. On the basis of these frameworks our model works like this.
Value is judged primarily or extrinsic or what Eccles calls utility value or attainment value. Utility value is where the subject is seen as instrumental for reaching short or long term goals. Attainment value is when the grade or attainment is seen as important.
If utility or attainment value is low then the fear appeal will not be seen as personally meaningful or relevant and disregarded.
If utility or attainment value is high then the fear appeal will be seen as personally meaningful. If academic self efficacy is high the message will be appraised as challenging and if academic self-efficacy is low it will be seen as threatening.
