Session Description

To excel in problem solving, students must cultivate strong metacognitive abilities that enable them to self-regulate their problem-solving processes. This keynote delves into the power of reflective prompts in enhancing metacognition during problem-solving. We will begin by exploring the design and implementation of these reflective prompts, highlighting their role in fostering deeper reflection and understanding. Next, we will analyze the impact of these prompts on students’ conceptual understanding, metacognitive skills, strategic problem-solving approaches, and overall academic achievement. Additionally, we will discuss whether investing in tailoring prompts to specific topics pays off. Join us for an insightful discussion on the implications of these findings and discover whether prompts truly hold the key to unlocking enhanced metacognition in problem solving. In the keynote, we will also share details on the research methodology, providing inspiration for your own academic journey and research practices.
