Metacognition- Call for papers

Author: Tania Bull

Metacognition is one of the promising contemporary research fields in psychology and education. It deserves attention by more researchers, educators, trainers, coaches and therapists. Therefore IEJEE (International Electronic Journal of Elementary Education) decided to devote a special issue for such an important topic. We are aiming to create a channel for dissemination of research based knowledge. The aim is to communicate what we know with each other as researchers and with the practitioners within the fields of teaching, training, coaching and treatment. We are pleased to have one of the specialists in this field Annemie Desoete of Ghent University / Universiteit Gent, Belgium as Special Issue Editor and one of the promising researchers within the field Gökhan Özsoy of Aksaray University, Turkey as Special Issue Co-Editor.

Topic: Metacognition - Does metacognition enhance or explain the enigma of difficulties with learning?

Deadline for submission: July 15th, 2009.
Tentative publication date: September, 2009.

Topics for the Special Issue:

- Metacognition in children, adolescents, adults
- Worked out examples of metacognitive training programs
- The training of metacognition: update and recent approaches
- The assessment of metacognition; update and recent approaches
- The relationship between metacognition and students characteristics
- The relationship between metacognition and cognition
- The relationship between metacognition and executive functions and between metacognition and self-regulation
- Is metacognition a typical human skill?
- Metacognition and learning difficulties

Other issues related to metacognition also are welcomed.
