BONO, Adriana; BOATTO, Yanina Elizabeth; AGUILERA, María Soledad  y  FENOGLIO, Mariana Cecilia. Metacognitive-oriented assignments. A proposal for pedagogic intervention in the university classroom. Innov. educ. (Méx. DF) [online]. 2018, vol.18, n.78, pp.143-170. ISSN 1665-2673.

This work presents a pedagogic proposal, whose purpose is the transformation of discipinary knowledge to be acquired by university students. The proposal is founded upon complex reading and writing assignments that lead up to the production of a final monographic paper completed in the classroom and that implies both cognitive and metacognitive processes.

We worked over one term with 159 students in the first three years of degree programs at the National University of Río Cuarto, Argentina. The final product was 63 monographic texts.

Additionally, the results obtained are discussed based on the data demonstrating that metacognitive-oriented assignments direct learning through reading and writing towards higher levels of complexity in the processes and results of learning. We also reflect upon the adjustments that can be made to learning conditions that enable the creation of multiple perspectives on the processes developed, the results constructed and the adaptation of the conditions of assignments.
