Presented by:

Director, Collaborative for Research in Outcomes and Metrics

Dr. Tractenberg will discuss metacognition as a learnable, improvable
skill set to strengthen teaching and assessment. A focus on cognitive
psychological principles and leveraging ideas from cognitive science
and educational psychology, educators can develop, evaluate and revise
teaching and learning opportunities by:
• incorporating reflection and metacognition
• defining the learning enterprise as a joint effort by instructor and learner
• orienting the learner along a path of growth and development
• strengthening teaching and assessment across disciplines and for
undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate/professional contexts
