metakognitive-prompts

Metacognitive prompts for classroom assignments are generated by providing a task description, student level, and metacognitive focus. The skill outputs calibrated prompts, teacher scripts, and student prompt cards targeting planning, monitoring, and evaluation.

Task-specific metacognitive prompts are structured questions that provoke thinking-about-thinking during independent work. They target planning before, monitoring during, and evaluation after tasks to support students' thinking-aloud across secondary education subjects.

Self-regulation during independent work is supported by applying monitoring and evaluation prompts in real time. The skill generates teacher scripts and student prompt cards that model metacognitive awareness, making thinking processes visible.

Metacognitive prompts can be customized for different student levels and subjects by adjusting the student_level and task_description inputs. The skill calibrates prompt complexity from low to high metacognitive awareness and applies flexibly across secondary education.

The best way to structure metacognitive prompts is to divide them into planning-before, monitoring-during, and evaluation-after phases. This skill generates a library of phase-specific prompts calibrated to a concrete task to systematically provoke reflective thinking.

Teacher scripts and student prompt cards for metacognitive modeling are created automatically from the defined input schema. The skill outputs these materials alongside prompts to help teachers make metacognition visible during classroom instruction.
