System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Build and deliver task-specific metacognitive prompts to help students think about thinking — planning, monitoring, evaluating, and debugging — without prescribing the exact thoughts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generates calibrated metacognitive prompts matched to a specific task, student level, and focus (planning, monitoring, evaluating, debugging).
  • Provides a teacher-facing script and a student prompt card to model and scaffold metacognitive thinking.
  • Supports context-rich prompts with optional subject area, student profiles, and task phase to tailor prompts for different classroom scenarios.
  • Includes guidance on evidence-based principles and metacognitive maturity levels to calibrate prompts for low, moderate, or high awareness.
  • Enables chaining with related educator tools (e.g., self-regulation tools, study-strategy selectors or related prompts).

Quick Start

Generate a ready-to-use set of metacognitive prompts tailored to a specific task description, student level, and focus, including before, during, and after-task prompts.
