METACOGNITION TO STUDY BETTER, WHY NOT?
Journal Title: Gamtamokslinis Ugdymas - Year 2017, Vol 14, Issue 2
Abstract
Have you ever studied really hard, felt prepared to take a test at school or college, and, when the result came out, you were disappointed? Many students face this problem daily. What might be reason for it? Is it possible to study better, that is, to do it more efficiently? Although this is a complex question, involving several factors, I would like to propose a discussion about some components of a possible 'utopian formula' that may be hindering your performance. Why do I refer to this term: "utopian formula"? Many factors can be associated with good learning, however, there are some beliefs which, although not effective, continue to influence individuals, preventing them from thriving academically.
