Hello! I hope things are going well for you. Welcome to another issue of my memory and metacognition updates. In addition, a warm welcome to everyone who signed up to this list since the start of term/semester! It has been amazing to see over two hundred new educators join since August.Metacognition includes a great many processes, but one of the most important ones as a learner's ability to make good choices about how to study. To do so, they must have some appreciation of how learning works.They don't gain this knowledge by accident (in fact, as Amarbeer Singh Gill explains in this recent blog post, if left to their own devices, learners' intuition seems to lead them astray).It therefore falls to educators to inform themselves about effective study strategies, and to communicate these to students.So, what should we tell students about how to study, when should we do it, and how?
