continue to develop metacognitive awareness and skills, resulting in a profile of continued
improvement in terms of outcomes. (It is also suggested that such students would perform
significantly better in employment than their metacognitive unaware counterparts.)
Even in the absence of such an experiment, I am sufficiently convinced of the value of
the exercise to seek to continue with the new work practices. Over the period that the
metacognitive training and changes to teaching practice and delivery have been in place, I
have seen a substantial improvement in student outcomes for a marginal investment in time
and effort.
