To develop the metacognitive awareness of students and to enrich the metacognitive experience:
• Expose students to general problem solving skills, thinking skills and
heuristics, and how these skills can be applied to solve problems.
• Encourage students to think aloud the strategies and methods they
use to solve particular problems.
• Provide students with problems that require planning (before solving)
and evaluation (after solving).
• Encourage students to seek alternative ways of solving the same
problem and to check the appropriateness and reasonableness of the
answer.
• Allow students to discuss how to solve a particular problem and to
explain the different methods that they use for solving the problem.
