Metacognitive Response
1. My peer review writing workshop went very well. I learn that my peers writing are unique, but Donnovan and Mayari seem to lack on introducing the definition from the dictionary or their own definition. Their writing topic is interesting, but they are still in the process in adding examples to it in order to make a stronger essay. The feedbacks they had given me was somewhat helpful,but the suggestion given by Ms. Siegal seems to be more helpful. I did enjoy the comments given by my peers it made me feel quite impressed they enjoy my paper. My impact on my revision is based on the comments provided by my teacher and my peers and having additional modification to make me essay more presentable. In making it more presentable

    I came into this class under the impression that I already wrote well enough and wouldn’t need to improve. However, as I progressed through the semester I learned that there is always room to grow. The first paper I produced was not at the level I was hoping but after I actively decided to improve my writing my papers became much better. Looking back on my work in the class I wonder how much my writing has changed and where I still have room to improve. Without evaluating my work I can’t hope to become any better. Through this class I have grown much as a writer but there is still more I can learn.

  • Reflection On I Am Going To Fail

    1878 Words  | 4 Pages

    When many people write, including myself, they get attached to their writing. Although writing can be a personal thing, I’ve learned that it is important to step away from your paper, and take the feedback on an objective level. The first time I got feedback, I had an overwhelming urge to defend myself. I remember reading that my introduction wasn’t complete, and that my evidence wasn’t properly introduced. I wanted to walk up to those who critiqued my paper, and spit right in their faces.

  • Final Reflection: Grasping the Writing Process

    Gradually through the whole semester, Peer Review sessions became a great and positive influence on my writing. It is very helpful to have two people with different views on writing read and critique my paper, and give me feedback on what they think I should improve or correct. We didn’t change peer review groups and I was very delighted because I have gotten a chance to see my group members grow as a writer. When it’s time to revise my paper before I turn it in for a grade, it is very helpful to have some options on what to exactly revise in my paper. For example, in my comparative analysis essay, both of my peer reviewers wrote that my introduction was not effective and i...

  • Writing Self-Evaluation

    960 Words  | 2 Pages

    In final analysis, my writing has greatly improved during this semester, and having looked at the area's I most need to work on has given me an awareness of what my weaknesses are. Examining what I have learned and what I need to learn allows me to generate a strategy to fortify my writing skills. Critiquing my own work has given me insight into how my writing is progressing in this class and allowed me to see short comings I had missed previously. Self-evaluation is a helpful tool for anyone who wants to continue to learn what areas they can improve upon and how much progress they are making. I believe those who appraise their own work will have a better understanding of their strengths and weaknesses then those who do not evaluate themselves.

  • Metacognition Essay

    1619 Words  | 4 Pages

    Metacognition is defined as “thinking about thinking”. Metacognition consists of two components: knowledge and regulation. Metacognitive learning includes knowledge about oneself as a learner and the factors that might impact performance, knowledge about strategies, and knowledge about when and why to use strategies. Metacognitive regulation is the monitoring of one’s cognition and includes planning activities, awareness of understanding and task performance, and assessment of the efficacy of monitoring processes and strategies. Metacognition also improves with suitable instruction, with experimental evidence supporting the notion that students can be taught to reflect on their own thinking. Valuation of metacognition is challenging for a number of reasons: (a) metacognition is a complex construct; it is not directly observable; it may be confounded with both verbal ability and working memory capacity; and existing measures tend to be narrow in focus and decontextualized from in school learning. It identified self-directed learning as one of the life and career skills necessary to prepare students for post-secondary education and the workforce. However, educators may not be aware with the methods for teaching and assessing metacognition, mainly among elementary aged children. Educational psychologists have long promoted the importance of metacognition for regulating and supporting student learning but the question arises; how understanding of metacognition improve the way a students learn? There are number of strategies through which they can improve their learning; firstly, pre-service teacher’s used the self-regulated learning (SRL) method to enhance student learning. SRL promotes metacognition and it promotes deeper understandi...

  • Metacognition And Self Regulation Essay

    Metacognition is the understanding of one’s own thinking process, also known as “thinking about thinking or cognition about cognition”, (Flavell, 1979). Metacognition is the ability to control our own thoughts. Metacognition enable us to control cognitive control processes such as perception, action, memory, reasoning, and/or emoting. Self-regulation is described as a system of conscious personal management that involves the process of guiding one 's own thoughts, behaviors, and feelings to reach goals. Self-regulation is the ability to control our own behavior and prevents us from our impulses in order to reach certain goals. For example, in order to properly save money, I control my urge to engage in impulsive spending and instead walk away from the purchase and save the money for something more important. In self-regulation, the idea is to set goals and align our behavior with those goals, and have the willpower and determination to achieve those goals. Self-regulation is typically needed when there is a conflict of motivations, for example to run away from a fire as opposed to helping to rescue victims of the fire. According to Baumeister et al (2007), there are four

  • The Importance Of The Writing Process

    1328 Words  | 3 Pages

    The writing process is not manufactured by man, it’s inherent in the way we write. The writing process does not consist of rigid steps one must check off like a grocery list in order to have an effective paper; rather it is recursive process, with all steps intertwined, and connected, unable to be united or divided. It’s commonly agreed to have 4 steps: prewriting, drafting, revision, and editing. However, throughout our research as a group, we firmly assert that collaboration and reviewing are of vital importance. How can a writer optimize use of the writing process? What makes each part of the process effective, and how can we evaluate this? How can you and I, as writers, and rhetors use the writing process to our advantage? Buckle
