Cognitive Strategies

Cognitive strategies are management skills that the student himself acquired, presumably over a period of several years, to govern its own process to meet, learn, think and solve problems.

Now some of these strategies:

Cognitive Learning Activities

•Organization information through mind mapping schemes summaries, etc.

•   Repetition and storage of information using memory techniques.

•Communication and use of information by synthesis reports, etc.

•Customization and creativity right through brainstorming, simulation and games.

•Regulation, control and evaluation through tests, bug fixes, etc.

Metacognitive strategies
