As future healthcare practitioners, kinesiology students must
become expert learners who choose
strategies resulting in deep and durable learning. Metacognitive
instruction goes beyond the use of study skills as it focuses on
student reflection and evaluation of their learning success, and
ultimately
establishes effective learning skills, a requirement for
professional practice. To examine if an intervention
in a kinesiology course affected metacognitive awareness and use of
metacognitive strategies, a quasiexperimental research design
utilized a convenience sample of 89 upper division
undergraduate
occupational therapy students and master’s level athletic training
students enrolled in kinesiology
courses.
