Quasi-experimental research on metacognition using the AILI

Wil Meeus; Hilde De Paepe; Nadine Engels

Abstract

The Awareness of Independent Learning Inventory (AILI) is constructed to measure metacognitive qualities of students in higher education (Elshout-Mohr et al, 2004). Research with students in teacher education shows that the AILI is capable of measuring differences in metacognition between students who work with or without a portfolio. An important conclusion of this study points to the role of the teacher educators, i.e., their confidence in the self-regulation of the students. The enhancement of metacognitive qualities appears to be positively influenced by their confidence. Moreover, the enhancement of metacognitive regulation is determined by the students freedom to navigate.
