Diagnostics of Metacognitive Abilities of University Students: Awareness of Independent Learning Inventory Method
Abstrakt
The study deals with the problems of metacognition and related phenomena in the field of cognitive psychology. The aim of the research is to find out the level of metacognitive abilities of selected students and their relation to other personality characteristics and styles of their learning.
This paper presents the results of the AILI questionnaire focused on independent learning, which is driven by metacognition. The outputs of the method used are scored in three scales - metacognitive knowledge, metacognitive skills (regulation), metacognitive attitude (responsiveness, development).
The questionnaire survey was aimed at students of the 1st - 3rd year of the study program Economics and Management of NEWTON College. Through the diagnosis of students' metacognitive abilities (dataset outcomes), further steps are directed towards their targeted implicit and explicit development in a way that would suitably complement the content of higher education.
This directly affects the long-term problem of university graduates - the discrepancy between their knowledge base and competence, ie the ability to use this knowledge in practice.
