- 生物教育教育 生物学教育
- 超认知 (Metacognition) 是一种超认知 (Metacognition) 的方法.
- 学生的表现 学生的表现
背景情况:
- 考试准备在入门生物学是一个复杂的元认知挑战.
- 低成绩的学生 (那些ACT成绩低于机构中位数的学生) 通常需要有针对性的支持.
- 超认知策略对于学术成功至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 为了比较定义术语与开放式元认知问题的对考试成绩的影响.
- 研究元认知作业对低成绩学生准确度 (预测与实际成绩) 的影响.
- 为了确定元认知提示是否影响学生的信心水平.
主要方法:
- 生物入门课分为两部分,其中一半接受术语定义任务,另一半接受元认知问题.
- 该研究的重点是进入ACT成绩低于机构中位数的学生.
- 对第二次和第三次考试的考试成绩和预测成绩的准确性进行了分析.
主要成果:
- 完成元认知作业的学生在第二次和第三次考试中获得了较高的分数.
- 超认知任务改善了低成绩学生的得分准确性,主要是由于更高的考试成绩.
- 与术语定义任务相比,几乎没有证据表明元认知任务显著改变了学生的信心水平.

Metacognition
160
Metacognition is a conscious process where individuals are aware of their cognitive and executive processes, such as planning before solving a problem or self-monitoring during reading. For instance, a writer may need help with composing a piece. The situation involves a writer who is working on a piece of writing, but while doing so, they realize that something is missing. They notice that their characters lack depth or details. This realization occurs because the writer is reflecting on their...

Reliability and Validity
12.7K
Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

Social Loafing
34.8K
Another way in which a group presence can affect performance is social loafing—the exertion of less effort by a person working together with a group. Social loafing occurs when our individual performance cannot be evaluated separately from the group. Thus, group performance declines on easy tasks (Karau & Williams, 1993). Essentially individual group members loaf and let other group members pick up the slack. Because each individual’s efforts cannot be evaluated,...

Confirmation Biases
5.5K
The confirmation bias is the tendency to focus on information that confirms our existing beliefs and ignore information that is inconsistent with our expectations. For example, if you think that your professor is not very nice, you notice all of the instances of rude behavior exhibited by the professor while ignoring the countless pleasant interactions he is involved in on a daily basis. Have you ever fallen prey to the confirmation bias, either as the source or target of such bias?

Multiple Comparison Tests
3.9K
Multiple comparison test, abbreviated as MCT, is a post hoc analysis generally performed after comparing multiple samples with one or more tests. An MCT will help identify a significantly different sample among multiple samples or a factor among multiple factors.
It would be easy to compare two samples using a significance alpha level of 0.05. In other words, there is only one sample pair to be compared. However, it would be difficult to identify a significantly different sample if the number...

Critical Thinking
106
Critical thinking involves reflective and productive thinking and the evaluation of evidence. Critical thinkers seek to understand the deeper meaning of ideas, question assumptions, and make independent decisions about what to believe or do. Scientists, for instance, are often critical thinkers. Critical thinking also requires humility about what we know and don't know and the motivation to look beyond the obvious. It is essential for effective problem-solving.
