A Study on the Teaching Method of Metacognition Based on a Cognitive Monitoring Model: using Korean learning journal as a supplementary educational tool

This study suggests a new approach to a teaching method of metacognition based on a cognitive monitoring model from Flavell(1979). Metacognition takes a core role in terms of making more efficient learning and its role can be more emphasized in the second/foreign language learning situation due to cognitive burden. So far, most of studies in the Korean language education field treated ‘metacognition’ as a subcategory of learning strategies. However, metacognitive strategies are not exactly the same notion with metacognition. Metacognitive strategies are the list of actions which occurs when people activate their metacognition to monitor their cognitive working. Thus, this paper aims to understand the way of activating metacognition based on the Flavell(1979)’s theory. In addition, the study proposes a teaching method for metacognition. In order to develop learners’ metacognition and support their learning, the study uses learning journal as a supplementary tool, which can be an effective way to teach metacognition. And it also discusses about how to design the Korean learning journal in terms of supporting learners and activating their metacognition.
