Resumen
BERNAL DIAZ, Pedro Santiago et al. Metacognition in the teaching of English at the Cuban university. EDUMECENTRO [online]. 2024, vol.16 Epub 30-Jun-2024. ISSN 2077-2874.
Rationale:
the language teaching-learning process should be accompanied by learning strategies, among them, metacognitive strategies.
Objective:
to identify the lack of knowledge of teachers and students about metacognitive strategies in the English teaching-learning process in a Cuban university.
Methods:
cross-sectional descriptive research was conducted at the “Marta Abreu” Central University of Las Villas during the 2018-2019 academic year. Theoretical methods were used: analysis-synthesis and inductive-deductive and the systemic approach; empirical: participant observation and a questionnaire on learning strategies; and mathematical-statistical for absolute and relative values.
Results:
most students use learning strategies some of the time. Participant observation showed that teachers do not apply metacognitive learning strategies in their classes; students do not use them either, so their knowledge is characterized by rote learning.
Conclusions:
lack of knowledge about metacognitive strategies to achieve effectiveness in the English teaching-learning process was identified; therefore, training on the subject is necessary due to its relevance for the solution of the problem; the usefulness, feasibility and novelty of the mentioned strategy make possible the solution to the problem posed.
