Analysis of metacognitive activities in pre-service teachers’ lessons – case study
Résumé
Depaepe, De Corte, and Verschaffel (2010) argue that teachers rarely, if ever, pay attention to the “how” and “why” of using a metacognitive skill. Dignath and Büttner (2018) confirmed that they mainly teach cognitive and only a few metacognitive strategies. The classroom learning process can be successful only when relevant metacognitive activities (planning, monitoring, and reflection) are made, students’ mindsets are considered, and coherent discourse is built (Cohors-Fresenborg, 2019). Planning entails identifying cognitive challenges and structuring cognitive efforts to accomplish particular goals. Monitoring is the control of cognitive processes and their outcomes. Reflection refers to thinking about cognitive activities involved in learning and understanding mathematics (Nowińska, 2019). The question arises as to whether these activities need to be developed in a targeted way in teacher training or whether they can be spontaneously integrated into practice by the end of the training. Our current research investigates metacognitive activities in classroom discourses implemented by pre-service teachers. The answer to the following research question was sought: What characterizes the metacognitive activities that occur in the classroom discourse?
