REPARATION
Step 1
Review the
Learning Journal
and
Metacognitive Exploration worksheets
you previously prepared.
You will be using these as the basis for increasing your level of learner knowledge for the performance
and learning previously identified. (You are welcome to select an alternative learning and learning
performance, but if you do, you should complete a
Learning Journal
and
Metacognitive Exploration
worksheet
on that other learning before proceeding with Step 2. An extra copy of both worksheets
may be found following this page.)
Step 2
Complete an
Elevating My Knowledge worksheet
for your learning, identifying how you will
elevate your learning (from Level 2 to 3, or Level 3 to 4). Be sure to review the Elevating Knowledge
Methodology and Example.

Seeing Myself through Three Learning Skills
Remember that in terms of learning skills, metacognition means becoming aware of our
thinking
(cognitive domain), our
emotional reactions
and
values
(affective domain), and our
interactions with
others
(social domain).
In this installment of My Life Vision, you get to select three learning skills (one from each domain) that
are meaningful to you and illustrate aspects of your personality. For each, do a little self-exploration and
write a meaningful paragraph about that aspect of yourself. This is all about self-awareness; turn the light
on yourself and have fun.
