🧠 Most students think they understand more than they actually do. Ever had a student say, “I got this!” only to bomb the test? It’s not just overconfidence—it’s a lack of metacognition. ✅ Metacognition—or thinking about thinking—helps students recognize their own blind spots. ✅ A simple habit (Goal-Setting and Reflection Surveys) can boost grades by 10 percentage points. ✅ Explaining concepts to themselves can make students retain information longer. Want to help students study smarter, not harder? Start with these five research-backed insights about metacognition. Find quick tips and also links to the latest podcast from The What & Who of EDU with all the details. https://buff.ly/gY6hPBV

Academic anxiety is real—whether it’s students freezing up before an assignment, hesitating to participate, or staring at a blank screen like it personally insulted them. But confidence? That can be built. Experienced educators shared with the What & Who of EDU podcast what actually works in helping students push past fear and develop self-assurance. Here are 10 classroom-tested strategies that empower students to take risks, speak up, and see mistakes as part of the learning process. #Education #HigherEducation #WhatAndWhoofEDU #EdTech #TeachingAndLearning #StudentSuccess #TeachingTips

Here's some real talk: Learning isn’t just about grades. According to Guido Gatti, Senior Quantitative Research Analyst at Macmillan Learning, “Education is at its most transformative when it nurtures the whole learner, building skills that last beyond the classroom." In other words, learning is about engagement, motivation, and feeling like you belong. Our research is exploring how simple, evidence-based teaching strategies—like metacognition tools and real-time interventions—are making a difference. Read on to learn more. https://buff.ly/M7u5c8b
