Metacognition: From Research to Classroom – Science of Learning Symposium

Low Library Rotunda and 203 Butler Library, Columbia University, New York

The Center for Teaching and Learning and the Science Of LEarning Research (SOLER) initiative welcome you to the inaugural Science of Learning Symposium. This year’s Symposium brings together Columbia faculty, staff, graduate students, and experts in the science of learning to share the research on metacognition in learning, and to translate it into strategies that maximize student learning.

Please note that the Morning Research Presentations are open to everyone. However, the Afternoon Workshops are open only for faculty, staff, and graduate students with instructional responsibilities at Columbia University (must have a valid UNI).

This year’s speakers are Janet Metcalfe, Professor of Psychology at Columbia University; Robert A. Bjork, Distinguished Research Professor at the University of California, Los Angeles; and Sian Beilock, President of Barnard College. Their talks will be commented by Elizabeth Ligon Bjork, Professor of Psychology at University of California, Los Angeles; and Dylan Wiliam, Emeritus Professor of Educational Assessment at University College London.
