WEEK 1
Activity 1
1. Define metacognition.
-Metacognition refers to the awareness of the process of learning. It is intentional
thinking about how you think and learn. Metacognition is a very significant skill for
students. Therefore, this skill must need to be taught and be practiced by students.
2. How do you apply metacognition in your everyday school activities?
A. In doing your homework
-> However, applying metacognition in doing homework is by recalling the lessons
we have learned and also reviewed my notes, therefore I can answer my
homework properly. As a student, I need to study and understand deeper the
lesson that I must get a correct answer.
B. Strategies before the examination
-> Applying metacognition in my strategies before examination is by reviewing my
previous lesson, by taking notes and organizing my thought so that I could focus on
my examination.
C. In doing your project
-> Applying metacognition in doing my project is by learning how to construct
knowledge about how to do my project. Organizing the materials needed in my
project and knowing what can I apply in this project.
3. What difficulty have you encountered in applying metacognition?
-> A difficulty that I have encountered in applying metacognition is when realizing
that I know an answer to a question but I simply can't remember it at the moment.
4. What is mnemonics? Research on the use of mnemonics in learning. Cite
different ways of using and give your own examples.
-> Mnemonics is a memory aid; it helps us remember an idea or phrase that has a
pattern of numbers and letters.
-> The use of mnemonics in learning is it can enhance memory of involve words or
ideas and it can promote better control of things to be learned. It is also helping the
students to learned it can easily for us to remember the things in a longer duration
of our memory.
-> For example: The BIBLE-Best, Instruction, Before, Living, Earth

-> Sensorimotor stage is from birth to 2 years of age; The children of this stage
have a very sensitive emotion in every single day. In this period kid are starting
to interact with their environment which their can make new discoveries and
learning how our world works. The cognitive development on this stage is a part
of growth and development of the children. By learning their basic movement
like walking, crawling, and staring to learn basic language. Infants learn that
things continue to exist even though they cannot be seen (object permanence).
B. PREOPERATIONAL PERIOD
-> Preoperational stage is from 2 to 7 years of age; The children in this stage they
are always love to play yet they are struggling to understand their world that
surrounds them. Children begin to learn using their own words to represent an
object. In this stage the language of children tends to develop properly.
C. CONCRETE OPERATIONAL PERIOD
-> Concrete Operational stage is from 7 to 11 years of age; in this stage the
children begin to understand the concept of conversation. Their thinking process
starting to be organized. The kids will begin to think also their behavior to other
on what they feel too. Yet their thinking process will be struggling to better
understand their situation.
D. FORMAL OPERATIONAL PERIOD

->2 MAIN PRINCIPLES OF VYGOTSKY’S THEORY
A. MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE OTHERS (MKO)
-> By those word can simply understand it, it is a person that has a better
understanding than the students with wide acceptance to their task. For example, is
our teacher and other adults not only into person but also into things. Like
technologies they can be help unto us to learning things and events that we don’t
understand.
B. ZONE OF PROXIMAL DEVELOPMENT (ZPD)
-> This can be related to the first principle of Vygotsky’s theory which this is the
concept that makes you think what is the difference between on what a child can
independently achieve and what a child can achieve through guidance and support
to has a better understanding. For example, is when the child has an assignment that
cannot answer it that’s why her mother is the one who guide her to know what is
the answer.
