Metacognition, thinking about how you think, has been shown to help students improve their grades. Stanford University researchers published a new study that outlines a 15-minute thinking hack that led to an average improvement of one third of a letter grade for the participants.
"Blind effort alone, without directing that effort in an effective manner, doesn't always get you to where you want to go," said Chen.
The research stems from the insight that while many resources are provided by educational institutions, students don't always know how to use them effectively. Patricia Chen, a postdoctoral research fellow who led the study, hypothesized that if students were made more self-reflective about how they approach their studies and the available resources, they could do better.
"Actively self-reflecting on the approaches that you are taking fosters a strategic stance that is really important in life," she said. "Strategic thinking distinguishes between people of comparable ability and effort. This can make the difference between people who achieve and people who have the potential to achieve, but don't."
