Learning to Think, Thinking to Learn: A Metacognitive Skills
Program for Student Success is designed to help students develop
resiliency, self-facilitation, initiation, and executive function
skills that contribute to academic success. The text is built upon
a strong model of executive function development within a
metacognitive framework. It helps students develop behaviors
critical to success, identify and leverage their unique strengths
within their courses, and learn how to effectively overcome
internal and external obstacles. Opening chapters introduce
students to the unique framework for the text and explain how the
workbook has been designed to foster academic success. The
following parts guide students through a series of exercises that
help them develop particular skills. In Part II, students hone the
five skills in the executing group: initiating, planning,
comprehending, monitoring, and evaluating. Part III introduces six
additional skills: motivating, shifting, regulating, controlling,
allocating, and task progressing. The final part focuses on the
skills of self-reflection, self-correction, and resiliency.
Providing students with a deeply reflective and highly interactive
experience, Learning to Think, Thinking to Learn is an ideal
resource for first-year orientation and student success courses and
programs.
