1. Should learning strategies be taught explicitly? Explain. 2. When learning new concepts and skills, how do you determine what’s important and where to focus your attention? 3. Discuss how you might use concept mapping in your academic work, professional work, and everyday life. 4. When you prepare for tests or assessments, what strategies do you use to practice retrieval? Based on studies, what strategies are most effective? 5. What role does factual knowledge play in expert problem-solving? 6. How can you teach problem-solving and still have students develop basic skills? 7. What do worked-out examples teach students? How do teachers use the process of working backward to teach students about solving problems? 8. How can heuristics and algorithms be applied in everyday situations? What are some examples of ways in which you use these techniques already? How could you extend their use? 9. What do critical thinkers do? When do you deliberately engage in critical thinking? How might you apply critical thinking when choosing sources for a research paper for a class? For the purchase of a vehicle or other large items? 10. Discuss examples of your transfer of knowledge, skills, and strategies. Consider knowledge learned at school and transferred to nonacademic situations.
