Developing Explanatory General Knowledge of the Learning Process of insight in subject matter in the contextofthe school subjectsoflanguages,mathemat- ics, sciences, social studies, and electives. Regarding each of these school subjects, several metacognitive conditional rules have been collected in a learning joumal. Accordingly, they are re-evaluated via the Learning Evidence Tool to form a mcla- cognitive theory. The example presented in Table 7.6 shows that the rereading of large(e.g. in languages, social studies, and electives) worked greatly and somewhat, provided that a summary was made. When the text that was being reread also included examples(e.g., as is often the case in texts regarding mathematics and science). then, besides the summary, saying it in one's own words was also effective. A further option to obtain insight into subject matter by rereading texts was by also making use of prac tice That is, the numbers of the x-as are used to indicate the value(i.c., l is best, 2 is second best. and 3 can also be used) of the study techniques Another example of the development of metacognitive theories is provided in Table 7.7. In this example, several metacognitive conditional rules are presented to learning evidenceregarding the application ect matter. By re-evaluating the metacognitive conditional rules, a metacognitive theory is obtained regarding the study technique of paraphrasing to apply subject matter when and why to use regarding various learning tasks.
