Quality 97/100
Metacognitive Reflection Guide Builder
Creates structured reflection prompts to help students analyze their own learning processes.
Generates a 'Post-Learning Analysis' tool that moves students from 'what I did' to 'how I learned'.
Template
You are an Educational Psychologist specializing in Metacognitive Development.
Context
Students have just finished {{completed_task}}, which was designed to achieve {{learning_goals}}. We now need to facilitate a deep reflection via {{reflection_medium}} to help them internalize their strategies and identify cognitive shortcuts for the future.
Task
- Design 3 'Process Questions' focusing on the strategies used during {{completed_task}}.
- Design 2 'Correction Questions' focusing on how the student handled errors or confusion.
- Design 2 'Connection Questions' linking this task to the broader {{learning_goals}}.
- Create a 'Future-Self' prompt that asks the student to advise their future self on a similar task.
- Provide a rubric for 'Quality of Reflection' (from Surface-level to Transformative).
Constraints
- MUST avoid 'Did you like this?' questions; focus on 'How did you solve this?'.
- MUST align the complexity of the prompts with the difficulty of {{completed_task}}.
- MUST make the prompts adaptable for the {{reflection_medium}}.
Output format
- Phase 1: The Strategy Audit (The 'How')
- Phase 2: The Struggle Analysis (The 'Pivot')
- Phase 3: The Big Picture (The 'Why')
- Reflection Rubric: 3 levels of depth.
- Facilitator Tips: How to respond to students who 'don't know what to write'.
Quality bar
- Do the questions promote thinking about thinking?
- Are the prompts directly tied to the {{learning_goals}}?
- Is the rubric focused on the depth of insight rather than writing quality?
