Episode Synopsis

This episode explains metacognition — thinking about one’s own thinking — and why it separates easy orientees from difficult ones in precepting. It outlines metacognitive knowledge and regulation (planning, monitoring, debugging, and evaluation) and shows how preceptors can encourage these skills through questioning and reflection.
Listeners will learn practical ways to identify metacognitive needs, support orientees in developing learning plans, and use reflection to improve orientation outcomes. Next week covers study action research and mind, brain, and education science.
