Title: Example, Nudge, or Practice? Assessing Metacognitive Knowledge Transfer of Factual and Procedural Learners
Investigates how examples, nudges, or practice support metacognitive knowledge transfer for factual and procedural learners. Compares learner types across intervention conditions to determine which instructional methods enhance metacognitive strategies and improve transfer.  more » « less

    This paper examines procedural and conditional metacognitive knowledge and student motivation across two ITSs (logic and probability). Students were categorized by metacognitive knowledge and motivation level. Interventions (nudges and worked examples) supported backward-chaining strategy. Results led to an MMI framework combining metacognitive instruction, motivation, and prompting to support effective knowledge transfer.

    By integrating physics laboratories with engineering design and computer science, students apply physics principles to ill-structured and complex problems, engage in knowledge transfer, and gain interest in STEM. The introductory physics labs at Purdue have been updated to include engineering design and computer science principles that ground physics in authentic problems. Integrated labs have been evaluated using student perception post-surveys, student course performance, interviews, and case-study observations. Preliminary results indicate that integrated physics labs promote transfer, enhanced metacognitive skills, student interest, and motivation.

    In the context of student learning, investigating effective feedback mechanisms within augmented reality (AR) learning systems is crucial for better understanding and optimizing study behaviors. This study examines the influence of metacognitive monitoring feedback within an AR setting. Our hypothesis suggests that regularly providing students with feedback on their metacognitive monitoring within an AR learning environment has a beneficial effect on their metacognitive state. The results of the study confirm that frequent exposure to such feedback significantly improves scores on the Metacognitive Awareness Inventory. Essentially, there was a marked increase in the inventory scores of participants who received ongoing feedback, compared to those who only received metacognitive monitoring feedback once after the lecture, particularly in the areas of planning, monitoring comprehension, and debugging strategies. This enhancement is achieved by influencing student calibration by directly impacting their metacognitive state.

    With the growing need for augmented reality (AR) technology, understanding and optimizing study behaviors in AR learning environments has become crucial. However, one major drawback of AR learning is the absence of effective feedback mechanisms for students. To overcome this challenge, we introduced metacognitive monitoring feedback. Additionally, we created a location-based AR learning environment utilizing a real-time indoor tracking system to further enhance student learning. This study focuses on the positive impact of metacognitive monitoring feedback in a location-based AR learning environment. Our hypothesis posits that regularly providing students with feedback on their metacognitive monitoring within this new AR learning system positively influences their metacognitive awareness. The study's findings confirm that frequent exposure to such feedback significantly enhances the Metacognitive Awareness Inventory (MAI) scores. Participants who received continuous feedback demonstrated a significant increase in MAI scores compared to those who received feedback only once after the lecture. This improvement is achieved by influencing student calibration and directly enhancing their metacognitive awareness.

    While judgments of agency were once construed as metacognitive in nature, recent experimental and computational work has shown that agency judgments do not (always) depend on metacognitive resources (Constant et al., 2022; Wen et al., 2023). This development has left the role of metacognitive in generating the subjective experience of agency largely uncharacterized. We measured psychometric thresholds (i.e. first order sensitivity) and metacognitive sensitives for sensorimotor agency judgments, as well as high-level beliefs about one’s agency using an established scale. We found, among a large (n=195) sample, that the relationship between subjects’ moment-by-moment judgments of control and their high-level beliefs was almost entirely mediated by metacognitive access, revealing a novel role of metacognition in linking experiences of agency with the belief of being an agent.
