Metacognition in Physics/Chemistry Teacher Education--A Danish Project.

Henriksen, Leif; And Others

European Journal of Teacher Education, v19 n2 p167-80 1996

A preservice physics/chemistry course was created that was inspired by constructivist thinking, that emphasized metacognition, and that integrated concepts of pedagogical and scientific topics by developing a teaching/learning cycle. Denmark's educational system and the implementation of the course are described. Preliminary evaluations suggest the course has succeeded. (SM)
