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.

I love to read that there are educators with the purpose of actually teaching students. I think the idea of reflecting on what they learned is important because many times once a topic is over you forget about it. Using these learning journals in an excellent and efficient way to have them retain information that they will need to become achieve academic success.
