Design and development of a digital tool for metacognitive strategies in self-regulated learning

Abstract

We present the development of a digital tool to facilitate the use of metacognitive strategies oriented to self-regulated learning. The tool provides facilities for the employment of metacognitive strategies based on the four main types of metacognition strategies: strategies for planning, strategies for monitoring and strategies for evaluation. In addition, strategies related to contextual control can be considered as metacognitive strategies. It is concluded that the tool developed is an opportunity for the Spanish-speaking educational community, since until now educational tools for SRL have focused on cognitive strategies, and this one allows them to be worked on through reflection and the use of metacognitive strategies.
