Question #5:<\/strong> \u00a0Can I help my students learn how to learn mathematics?<\/span><\/p>\n

A teacher\u2019s role is to recommend or encourage the use of specific learning strategies that are the most beneficial for individual learners or the problem at hand. While no one learning strategy is perfect for all learners and all situations, PISA results indicate that students benefit throughout their schooling when they control their learning. Students who approach mathematics learning strategically are shown to have higher success rates on all types of mathematics problems, regardless of their difficulty.<\/span><\/p>\n

WHAT ARE CONTROL STRATEGIES IN MATHEMATICS?<\/span><\/p>\n

Control strategies are part of the METACOGNITION family of general approaches to learning. The two other strategy members of the metacognition family are memorization and elaboration. We talked about memorization strategies in Episode 12 and will talk about elaboration next episode.<\/span><\/p>\n

Control strategies are learning strategies that allow students to set their own goals and track their own learning progress. In other words, control strategies are methods that help learners control their own learning.<\/span><\/p>\n

This approach includes activities such as:<\/span><\/p>\n
