Metacognition in Chemistry Education
Connecting Research and Practice
ACS Symposium Series

Metacognition is a critical part of the learning process for any content area, any academic subject. It is an inseparable part of the cognitive tapestry that is our learning. Further spreading the word about metacognition - how it benefits learning and how it can be fostered in classroom environments - especially in chemistry education, is a primary goal of this book. This book offers new and sharper insights into how metacognition and its tasks can be stitched into the fabric of classroom instruction and curricula.
