About SoTL – Analysis, synthesis, reflection, and discussion
Abstract
This presentation examines metacognition as a skillset of, and as a teaching tool for, senior-level military learners. The authors offer best practices they have gleaned from their experiences teaching at U.S. Marine Corps and Air Force professional schools. Three case studies will be offered to provide support for the value of metacognition as a course topic, a framework for shaping teaching practices, and an assessment tool that should be considered foundational to professional military education. The discussion will conclude with suggestions for how the case studies might be usefully adapted to different instructional contexts.
