Metacognitive conditional rule: when memorizing by merely listing th facts, then this does not work because the lists are not meaningful The participating students of the research studies in Chap. 3 also often mentioned the necessity of summarizing in order to get good marks. Table 7.4 presents an extern-oriented example of the evaluation of a learning experience regarding the application of principles to get a good mark. The results of Table 7.4 indicate that a good mark was not obtained. due to a lack of processing in terms of being unable to apply the principles. This kind of result can be obtained, for example. by a student who began by summarizing and memo nizing the principles(i.e., processing and memorizing). though without trying out this would be enough to apply the principles, which resulted in not being able to apply the principles to solve the problems during the test situation. That i can be imagined that the second question was filled in at first as follows: "To process sub it because I could summarize the principles well." However, the responses to the fourth question may have been: "I did not know how to apply the principles to solve the problems, because it was difficult to do the test and I did not get a satisfactory mark." In this example, the test situation and the marks were used as evidence. Therefore, the first question needs to be adjusted(i.e., by also indicate ing that it was not thoroughly understood) in that the principles could be summa rized though they could not be applied. the student The results of the final example presented in Table 7.5 suggest that informa- was able to understand the subject matter by phrasing the biology textbook tion in his or her own words. Moreover, the student added that he or she also came up with examples to explain the concepts. In other words, the metacognitive condi- tional rule states that the student can learn to understand concepts by paraphrasing and the addition of the thinking up of examples to explain concepts can be kept in mind for future learning evaluations
