Metacognition in the Primary Classroom by Peter Tarrant

Metacognition in the Primary Classroom by Peter Tarrant

Current trends in education suggest that pupils should have more responsibility for their own learning. But how can they if they dont understand the what, the why and the how of their learning? It is important that children are well-enough informed to play an active role in learning better.

"This book is a crucial read for anyone interested in ensuring that pupils take an active role in their own learningIt will make you think and it will definitely have an impact on your classroom strategies, making your pupils more able learners." - Sarah Brew, Parents in Touch

"Although the majority of this book is aimed at primary key stages, it does touch upon the foundation years with a chapter on how to develop metacognition in the early years. This could prove a timely and thought-provoking read." - Neil Henty, EYE
