Abstract

This Research Work in Progress paper presents a Community of Practice (CoP) for Metacognition research. This paper will provide a brief overview of the current state of metacognition research in engineering education. Current work in engineering will be compared to suggested focus areas in the broader study of metacognition in education. This paper will conclude with a brief discussion of the CoP the authors are working to form to support future research in metacognition in engineering. The CoP is currently formed around five major thrust areas of research: K-12 Education, Undergraduate Education, Workforce Development, Faculty Development, and Frameworks and Methods.
