To help my students develop their metacognitive skills, I give them an opportunity to practice recognizing what they don't understand to better comprehend their problems. Learning Journals of what they learned for the day, what was hard, and what was easiest for them is a great way to go back and review where they are having problems. I also try to make sure they show their thinking and their work on tests so they will really think and not guess.
