Our goals
From the beginning, this was conceived as an ongoing project. This website will be used in our courses and will continue to be developed by students. The goal is for people to learn about metacognition and its role in learning. We believe that learning can happen the most effectively when learners engage with open educational resources not just as passive consumers of information, but as active participants in meaningful knowledge creation.

Why metacognition?
Developing metacognitive awareness is shown to contribute to learning transfer, helping learners to use their knowledge and apply what they've learned in new contexts. As English teachers, we know that metacognitive awareness and the open discussion of metacognitive processes helps learners to develop and refine skills in reading, writing, and researching. Metacognition is something we all do in countless contexts, so it's something that anyone can meaningfully engage in discussing and learning.

Please join us!
We hope that other instructors will encourage their students to engage with these OER in the spirit of open pedagogy. We selected metacognition as a topic from the perspective of English teachers, knowing its integral role in working with language. We believe that metacognitive awareness is crucial to any type of learning. In particular, learners focused on study skills and college success benefit greatly from metacognitive awareness. Learners of psychology and education would also have much to gain from engaging with this topic.
