Answer 1

There are several qualities of an outstanding teacher. One quality is the metacognitive skill of the teacher. Metacognition is defined as the process of reflection, which encourages deeper learning. If a student is regularly able to self-reflect on his performance as well as the performance of others, he will learn more and improve academic results. For teachers, it can help monitor and also change the lessons in the future and for students, it can also improve their performance in future lessons. Dividing metacognition strategies into before a task, during a task and after a task stages can be helpful .Here are simple questions that can develop metacognitive strategies in each of these three stages:

(i) Before a Task - Is this similar to a previous task? What do I want to achieve? What should I do first?

(ii) During The Task - Am I on the right track? What can I do differently? Who can I ask for help?

(iii) After a Task - What went well? What could I have done better? Can I apply this to other situations?
