The Metacognition overview report shows learners' initial knowledge and how it has changed over the course.
Across the topics within a group, learners will likely already know some of them (conscious competence), be aware that they don't know some of them (conscious incompetence), and may not realize they have already mastered some (unconscious competence). The last category, unconscious incompetence, is the most problematic. These are misconceptions that the learner holds - things they think they know or can do but do not.
The Metacognition pie chart shows a summary of metacognitive responses for the entire group during the learning process. It provides a high-level feel for how challenging the course was and whether the learners collectively had high or low misconceptions. As a general rule, anything below 10% unconscious incompetence might be considered low and anything above 30% is considered very high. The Details button takes you to the Metacognition Progress Report on the Impact dashboard.
The Metacognition Graphical Summary shows a bar for each learner showing the relative proportion of their metacognitive responses during the path to mastery. Metacognition details provides the same information in tabular form.
The expected final Current Competence is 100%, thus the adaptive model should help each learner to master the missing knowledge, eliminating all incompetence.
The report includes 4 sections:
- Progress shows the current progress of mastering the assignments.
- Initial columns show how the learners first interactions with Learning Objectives were distributed. When a learning objective is presented to a learner and they answer the associated probe correctly on the first attempt, it is counted as "initial Competence"
- Improvement columns indicate the changes in each category during the learning
- Current columns show the last learners' interactions with Probes.
