metacognition assessment

shared by John Burk on 07 Aug 11 - No Cached

John Burk on 07 Aug 11

looks like an interesting paper: This article proposes integrating self-assessment tools into the formative assessment process to improve the students' metacognitive skills. By integrating these steps into lawyering skills courses and clinics, professors are more likely to help students "learn like a lawyer." The articles discusses metacognition, effective formative assessment techniques, and practical ideas on how to improve the learning of law students.

John Burk on 21 Sep 11

This is a great video for demoing ideas about pressure and gas laws, an in particular the how boiling point increases with pressure. Popcorn pops because the water inside flashes to steam and expands. If you put the system under sufficient pressure it won't do this … until the pressure is released, and all of the popcorn pops at the same time.
