Memory & Metacognition Updates Returns Soon

Plus an announcement 🎉

Hello! Just a short midweek update to share two things:

1. I’ll be resuming my full weekly newsletters on Monday 9 September.

2. My new book is out! If you are a metacognition obsessive, or just want to explore the concept and try out a few strategies this year, please check out the details below.

Metacognition and Study Skills: A Guide for Teachers

This brand new book explores how metacognition is rooted in how we use memory. It includes:

• an overview of the concept and its links with cognitive science

• ‘quick start’ strategies

• approaches that focus on what happens before, during and after classroom tasks

• metacognition and literacy

• study skills

• building a metacognitive classroom and school culture

I’m so excited about this book – it was a longstanding ambition of mine to write it! It is available now internationally (here are links for Amazon in the UK, USA, Spain, as well as to the Routledge website).

Thanks again for reading and being part of these updates – by engaging, you are helping me to share cognitive science research with the education community 🌟

As mentioned at the start, I’ll be back with a full update on 9th Sept, so please do share this with any colleagues who might be interested in keeping informed about memory and metacognition research this academic year.

Until then, take care,

Jonathan

(p.s. – I’ve joined the edu exodus to Bluesky!)
