Standards and Competencies

In the first round of my action research, I set out to investigate how developing metacognitive thinking skills might support critical thinking and lead to content mastery. The metacognitive instructional techniques I used were:

1. Explicit direct instruction through modeling the thinking process
2. Journal Writing (mathematical and reflective)
3. Problem-Based Learning (PrBL) using cognitively complex mathematical performance tasks
4. Collaboration and Communication in class discussions and Socratic Seminar with and without technology

Students frequently applied mathematical content knowledge, critical thinking skills, reading comprehension and writing skills, and collaboration and communication skills in order to complete various tasks during the treatment. They were required to engage in reading, analyzing, reasoning, writing, exchanging of information, collaboration, and problem-solving face-to-face and with the use of technology. Thus, it should not be surprising that this research addresses standards in multiple content areas such as Mathematics, English Language Arts (ELA), English Language Development, 21st Century Skills, and Educational Technology standards.

In the second round of my action research, I set out to investigate how I could leverage technology in order to differentiate and individualize instruction using a digital tool to support personalized learning. Students were expected to use a digital assessment tool called Khan Academy in order to complete assignments and master content so knowledge of appropriate technology use or digital citizenship and technical knowledge was required of the students.
