Prediction and self-evaluation of word problem solving as an opportunity to develop the metacognitive potential of primary school students

Original language description

In pedagogical theories and research, metacognition is increasingly considered an important predictor of successful learning. In the context of our research, metacognition means a set of abilities and skills of the pupil’s awareness of own cognitive (learning) activities, of prediction and evaluation of the procedures applied when exposed to a learning situation. In our research, the level of prediction and self-evaluation (i.e., "off-line" metacognition) was investigated in connection with solving routine and non-routine mathematics word problems. We were interested in whether students who achieve different levels of success in solving word problems differ in their level of prediction and self-evaluation. We present the results of the research. Successful problem solvers achieved a higher level of prediction and self-evaluation than students who were unsuccessful. Our conclusion is that students who are successful in mathematics and who have a higher level of mathematical abilities and demonstrate this in the results of problem solving, are also able to predict and evaluate more objectively their performance.
