For example, when the children in my class showed a common interest in playing and modeling with clay, I started to think of new ways of teaching, learning, and challenging the children to enhance their knowledge about that material. To stimulate metacognition, promote situations where children can play, investigate, and question their findings. (It’s important to emphasize that written parental permission is necessary when taking photos or videos of children, as well as explaining how you’ll use the images.) One way to remedy this is to record and photograph their actions and explorations, transforming them into a pedagogical document that the children can see, enabling metacognition. Several studies indicate that while young children can have metacognitive experiences by themselves, they don’t know how to interpret these experiences. ![]() Children who are protagonists in their education learn to think and make decisions they’re capable of appropriating and reflecting on their thinking, which is the basis for metacognition. It’s through their protagonism that children exercise initiative, autonomy, and critical and reflective thinking. Protagonism also involves solving problems and facing different situations in their daily lives. In the Brazilian educational field, children’s protagonism means the active and effective role of children in acquiring knowledge, which shows their cognitive development.
