Implementing Learning Strategies
Based on Metacognition

(University of Maryland University College and Lehigh University, USA)

Abstract: Student-directed pedagogical models and 21st century themes fuse to ignite a learning community for reflection, discovery and achievement to motivate the 21st century students. Writing fiction, non-fiction, poetry and screenplays as a learning community in English curriculums in distance settings with self-assessments through metacognitive pedagogy can improve student learning. Methodology centers upon activities that support preparation for learning to teach students to act as cognitive mappers to create in the new literature of the social network as the new voices for a global cultural literature revolution. By telescoping into a shorter version of oral history, writers succeed in the learning community. The framework short story fuses with multiculturalism as a focus to envision the student in a creative process to offer transformation.
