5. SKILLS VS STRATEGIES Skill Strategy - Observable behaviours (answers to questions, answers on tests, skills list, and taxonomies). - A conscious plan under the control of the reader. - Product- oriented. - Generally thought to be unobservable. - Process-oriented. - Instructions focuses on ways to help students understand what they read.
6. WHAT IS METACOGNITION? What does it mean to successfully "contextualize and operationalise" strategies,…or to "be able to apply strategies strategically,“ That, I believe, is where metacognition comes in. Metacognition is "cognition about cognition," or "thinking about thinking."
7. THE IMPORTANCE OF METACOGNITIVE ABILITY According to O'Malley, et al., "students without metacognitive approaches are essentially learners without direction or opportunity to review their progress, accomplishments, and future directions" (1985, p. 561).
8. THE DIMENSIONS OF METACOGNITIVE ABILITY Two dimensions: (1) knowledge of cognition (2) regulation of cognition (Flavell, 1978). The first aspect of metacognition, "knowledge about cognition," includes three components "declarative," "procedural," and "conditional" (Paris, Lipson, and Wixson, 1983). .
