Steps to Metacognition [CLOs: 3, 4]
Prepare: Before responding to this discussion, click through the interactive (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. above and carefully review the descriptions of each step of metacognition in Section 3.2 of Chapter 3.
Reflect: Metacognitive activities, such as this discussion and the Metacognitive Forums, can help you reflect on your own learning and develop higher-order thinking. As you complete this discussion, you may realize you were not always aware of how and why your thoughts corresponded with your actions in the past. Pausing to analyze why you're doing what you're doing can help you improve the final quality of your work.
Write: In complete sentences and a minimum of 250 words, address the following:
• Assess your progress as an intentional learner by considering each metacognitive step: mulling, connecting, rehearsing, attending, expressing, assessing, reflecting, and revisiting.
o Which step do you use with ease? Describe how you use it.
o Which step is most challenging for you to use? Why?
o Which step do you skip over or ignore completely? Why?
• Imagine someone asks, "What kind of student are you?" How would you answer? What would they observe about your study techniques?
Consider things such as the following: engagement with course resources (textbook, video, articles, Instructor Guidance, announcements), how often you log in to class, participation in discussion forums, approach to taking quizzes, etc.
• Now imagine that same person asks, "What kind of student would you like to be?" List three specific things you are doing to become the student you want to be.

Understanding the Patterns of Others [CLO: 2]
Prepare: Critically read Chapter 4 of your textbook. Then, pick one adult in your life you regularly interact with and guess their level of use for each Pattern. If you prefer, give them the LCI using these instructions. Note: This version is appropriate for individuals ages 16 and up.
Reflect: A heightened awareness of the similarities and differences between yourself and others around you is a critical component in the process of becoming an intentional learner. Reflect on how this individual's Learning Patterns are similar to or different from yours.
Write: In a minimum of 250 words, address the following:
• For the person you chose, identify the level of use (Use First, Use as Needed, Avoid) for each Learning Pattern and describe how they use it. Specify if you are guessing the level of use or if you gave them the LCI.
• Remind us of your Learning Patterns by listing the level of use.
• Provide an example that demonstrates how Learning Patterns led to positive interactions or created friction between you and the person you selected. Applying what you know about Learning Patterns, how do you now view the incident?
