There are 5 ways students who use CSI learn metacognition.
1. Though modeling. Students are exposed to the teacher’s metacognitive thinking through “think aloud.”
2. Through interaction in a learning community. Students talk about their own thinking and hear other students talking about theirs.
3. Through the cooperative learning activities. Students reflect on their thinking as they complete tasks with a partner before reading, during reading, and after reading. Using acetate sheets, students record their thinking over the top of the text (annotation) and then discuss their thinking with each other.
4. Through the use of graphic organizers. Students record their thoughts in graphic organizers.
5. Through a student reflection rubric. Students assess themselves and then discuss their assessments with their teacher. This is done in a conference-type situation, where the student is asked to ‘justify’ their thoughts.
