Step 5 of 5 · Your commitment

One thing you will try

Before you leave the module, note one specific situation where you will bring the method into your teaching.

A complete plan is not needed. One class, one assignment and one small change will do: the before-step, the pause question or the after-reflection.

Your next step

The course or context: which module or class will you try this in?

The task: what assignment or activity will you adapt?

The change: which part of the three-step structure will you add?

the before-step the pause question the after-reflection

When? (optional)

When

The reminder is a calendar file (.ics) for the date you chose; open it to add it to your own calendar. Tell a colleague who teaches something similar what you plan to try, and compare notes once you have tried it.

You have completed the module

In this module you have:

experienced the three-step metacognitive protocol from the inside, as a learner
understood the evidence behind the performance paradox and cognitive offloading
seen how the method can be adapted for your discipline and your students
committed to one concrete next step in your own teaching context

A final thought

Whether AI supports or undermines learning depends on how it is used, and on who designs that use. Students will not arrive at good habits on their own. Given a clear structure and an honest conversation about why it matters, most of them will engage thoughtfully, and as their teacher you are the one who can start that conversation.
