Abstract

In article the problem of metacognitive monitoring of the solution of educational tasks is condemned. The role of heuristic processes as source of possible distortions in metacognitive judgments is shown. Results of pilot study in which influence of reasonings of pupils on own knowledge on characteristics of monitoring (N = 58 is studied are presented; middle age — 19,5 years; 5 young men, 53 girls). It is revealed: 1) the students formulating the arguments disproving their knowledge were less sure of the solution of test tasks, than the students who were putting forward arguments in support of correctness of the knowledge (p = 0,016); 2) students from group which put forward the disproving arguments showed more positive changes of accuracy of monitoring, in comparison with students from group which put forward the arguments confirming their knowledge (p = 0,032); 3) the procedure of reasonings on own knowledge did not reduce influence of heuristic processes on creation of judgments of metacognitive monitoring; 4) students with lower level of subject knowledge showed big changes in indicators of metacognitive monitoring in comparison with the students having more high standard of knowledge (р = 0,043). The prospects of use of the procedure of reasonings on knowledge as development tools of skills of monitoring are discussed. Some restrictions of results and conclusions of a research are specified.
