Metacognitive Strategy Instruction

This article characterizes metacognitive instruction as endeavoring to teach students to plan, implement, and evaluate strategic approaches to learning and problem solving. Particular emphasis is given to an instructional program developed to enhance text comprehension. Components determined to be critical to the success of this endeavor as well as other metacognitive interventions include selecting strategies wisely, providing guided instruction in the acquisition and application of these strategies, and informing the learner regarding the utility and consequences of employing the strategies.
