Metacognition revisited: Teachers’ perceptions of learning and thinking

This study will employ two main methodological approaches: 1) an online survey to probe teachers’ understandings of metacognition and whether and in what ways these understandings inform their current classroom practice; 2) an electroencephalogram (EEG) to probe how neural activities are contributing to the metacognitive process when each teacher-participant engages in classroom teaching scenarios. 

We are seeking school teachers from Australian schools. The teachers can be primary, secondary, and all other teacher or classroom-based roles. By participating, you may choose to log the time taken as part of NESA elective professional learning, which goes towards the 100 hours of professional learning to maintain teacher accreditation. 

Participating in this study is completely voluntary. If you decide to participate, this study involves a 38-question survey about metacognition. The survey takes about 20 minutes to complete and is designed to collect data about your perceptions of learning and thinking, as well as your classroom practice in relation to metacognition.

The survey can be assessed here, https://sydney.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6ill9EZzUk3dSM6

Thank you for your consideration to participate. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact Stanley Yip, syip9239@uni.sydney.edu.au.
