CETL - 003 Using Metacognition to Reframe our Thinking About Learning Styles

The ‘Using Metacognition to Reframe our Thinking About Learning Styles’ souvenir confirms learners have investigated the use of metacognition in instruction. Despite a lack of scientific evidence to support the idea that individuals have distinct learning styles, the learning style myth persists, embraced by many instructors in an effort to respond to visible learning differences among students. However, other well-researched constructs like metacognition may prove to be much more useful to capitalize on our students’ individual cognitive differences and tailor instruction accordingly. Learners briefly examine research on learning styles and metacognition and share ideas for promoting metacognitive teaching and learning as an alternative to learning styles.
