The process of assessing metacognitive strategies should be made overt to help students become aware of what they are doing. Students should be expected to produce records about the processes and strategies they use, as well as products reflecting their knowledge. It is just as important to reflect the process of learning as well as the resulting products. Associative memory tasks should provide strategies for memorizing—memonics, or drill and practice. Problem solving should record overt evidence of participation in the problem-solving steps, including hypothesis generation, solution experimentation, and analysis of problem components, constraints, and resources.
