Metacognition and Lifelong Learning : A survey of secondary school students

摘要

Cognitive infocommunication technologies are of essential importance to creating the conditions for lifelong learning. Both learning motivation and metacognitive factors are closely related to the individual's learning abilities. Questionnaire research in the Kossuth Lajos Bilingual Secondary School of Technology in Budapest approaches the lifelong learning from two directions. On the one hand, a list of queries related directly to lifelong learning, in which the motivational features of lifelong learning were addressed to the question groups. As well as a metacognitive questionnaire was applied, which also addressed the questions in a similar way, but rather from metacognitive aspects. Respondents from different ages are composed from different forms of education and different types of classes (N = 144). The aim of the research is to understand how respondents think about the certain lifelong learning contexts based attributes on the questionnaires. The results of the survey can be the basis of the further research directions in effective CogInfoCom strategies to support lifelong learning.
