STRATEGIES FOR PROMOTING META-LEARNING AMONG SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

Meta-learning or learning to learn, is described as the state of being aware of and taking control of one’s learning. It involves the awareness and understanding of the learning itself as opposed to understanding the given subject. It has gained significant recognition as a fundamental skill for students in today’s challenging and rapidly evolving educational landscape. Meta-learning is prevalent and deep-rooted in cognitive psychology and is a much-needed skill to be developed among children of all ages and stages. This review aims to underscore the meaning of meta-learning, its steps, and the importance of cultivating meta-learning abilities in students and give insights to educators, parents, policymakers, and researchers with a comprehensive understanding of the current state of knowledge in promoting meta-learning in school students. This paper discusses the implications for classroom practices, strategies, interventions, and approaches to encourage meta-learning and highlights the scope for future research.
