摘要:Although research about metacognition and its implications for learning and instruction have become a central issue in education, and have provided valuable insights for improving student learning, concerns have been raised about its lack of coherence, and the fact that the term means different things to different people. The editors and chapter authors of Metacognition in Science Education attempt to reduce much of the ambiguity associated with this field of research by providing an integrated view of metacognition. The chapters are written by established scholars in the field of metacognition and make stimulating reading. Overall, the book provides a comprehensive and detailed background on metacognition, and a clear perspective of recent research studies that testify to the value of metacognition for science learning.
