Praxis II PLT K-6

Category - Students

After each mathematics lesson, Ms. Luewden has her students write in their math journals. They are expected to reflect on both the lesson and their individual learning, such as what was difficult about learning the skill and how they worked to find the answer. Each Friday, Ms. Luewdon has the students read their five journal entries from that week and write a brief summary wherein they discuss patterns and anomalies they observe in their own learning processes. Which of the following terms would be used to identify the skill Ms. Luewden is teaching her students?
  1. Intrinsic motivation
  2. Transfer of learning
  3. Extrinsic motivation
  4. Metacognition
Explanation
Answer: D - Ms. Luewden is most likely teaching her students to use metacognition: their ability to think about how they process information mentally while they learn. A student who is capable of effective metacognition will likely be able to describe ways that they learn best and identify learning strategies that work for them. It also indicates that they are likely self-aware and capable of effectively regulating many of their own thought processes and learning behaviors.
