Evaluation of Metrics Metacognitive in Teaching-Learning Process mediated by Virtual Environments
Research has indicated that knowledge about one's own knowledge is essential to achieving quality learning. This knowledge can be enhanced with the development of metacognitive capacities, through activities that seek to involve the learner in monitoring their own knowledge. However, Virtual Learning Environments (AVA) such as Moodle, widely used by educators, do not natively have the tools to perform these activities, capture metrics, and analyze the results. This work aims to investigate the potential of metacognitive metrics in the teaching-learning process through virtual environments. In order to achieve the general goal, the MetaRef tool, a Moodle plug-in, has been developed to organize activities and collect metacognitive metrics. The tool also allows the monitoring of these metrics by the student and the teacher. A course was conducted with the MetaRef tool, and the data collected were analyzed and discussed.
