Quick thought that came out of coaching conversation yesterday: I think it is always useful to surface and discuss the metacognitive aspects of a learning experience (ie mindset, transfer of practices and concepts to other domains, etc) with learners. If they are thinking about and discussing these aspects of the learning experience while they are in the midst of it, then they are potentially gathering information about how they learn throughout whatever project they are working on. If this kind of metacognitive reflection is both fostered and practiced regularly, it becomes integrated… adding a powerful tool to help learners understand and improve their own learning process.
