This video presents the definition of Metacognition and how it was developed from the work of John Flavell. The video touches on the relationships between Flavell’s original model and the work of Albert Bandura in social learning and self-regulation as well as the later work of John Keegan in human development.

Here is an interview I did with the wonderful Dr. Anne Burgen on her show It Takes a Village. The family and friends of Taylor A. Lynch have made a scholarship fund in her memory. Taylor was one of the most wonderful a students that I had the pleasure of teaching at Coakley Middle School. One of my fondest memories of teaching in Norwood was when Taylor won the Morril Library Writing Contest with her inspiring piece about overcoming adversity. My heart goes to her family, and everyone affected by this loss. If you would like to donate of learn more about the scholarship you can contact Norwood High School.
Here is my research on the Fundamental Principals of Metacognition. It attempts to integrate the knowledge of professors from the Program of the Advancment of Learning at Curry College with the research on metacognition, self-regulation, transformational education, neurobiology and information processing. It presents a general pedagogy of metacognitive education based on a dynamic communication process identified as a Learning Conversation that is grounded across scientific disciplines and qualitative experience. It presents both practical directions for education and potential areas of future scientific study in the domains of learning, understanding and self-authorship. Link to Document: Fundamental Principals of Metacognition I recently did an interview with Dr. Anne Bergen on It Takes a Village. It was a wonderful oppertunity to discuss my research. I will post it here soon.
Conference presentations on Metacognitive Practice at the Program for the Advancement of Learning3/27/2018 We'll it seems my schedule is exceeding my ability to write about it here. However, now you can come and see some of my work on Metacognitive educational practice as I will be presenting on the Metacognitive practices of professionals teaching at Curry College's PAL program at two conferences coming up. First, I will be presenting my work at Lesley University's Community of Scholars Day tomorrow, March 28th. Details can be found here. Next week on April 6th I will be presenting this research at Harvard University's Student Research Conference. More details on this conference can be found here. Both conferences are open the public. though I believe you must preregister to attend the Harvard SRC. The study of the brain has been uniquely divided between neurology and psychology for many years. Psychology has traditionally been the field that has attempts to explain subjective elements of the mind and neurology the biological elements. Rather than the physical structures of neurology, psychology has divided the mind into various conceptual structures, such a Freud's conceptualization of the id, ego and superego (Freud & Strachey, 2010). While, investigations into the inner workings of the brain have been historically divided between the neurological and psychological, psychological insights have historically been considered the less valid and scientific of the two approaches (James, 1890). Over the past 200 years objective materialistic explanations of the physical world have become dominant. This has caused elements of subjective experience that resist materialistic explanations, like consciousness, to be avoided or discounted by scientists. However, because of our ability to use conscious metacognition to change and improve behavior, science is beginning to make valuable discoveries into the workings of conscious, as opposed to unconscious, thought. |
