Abstract

Students who demonstrate high self-explanation ability show advanced metacognitive awareness of their own problem solving process. This awareness can be utilized to reveal and apply control elements they experience during problem solving. In this paper we present a study of capitalizing on student awareness for developing their control competence during algorithmic problem solving. We describe the rational for our study, illustrate the learning process through an initial problem solving activity, and show the outcome of this learning.
