Abstract
To effectively process complex information within intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs), learners are required to engage in metacognitive monitoring micro-processes (content evaluations [CEs], judgments of learning [JOLs], feelings of knowing [FOKs], and monitoring progress towards goals [MPTGs]). Learners’ average monitoring micro-process strategy frequencies were used to examine learning gains using a person-centered approach as they interacted with MetaTutor. Undergraduates (n = 94) engaged in self-initiated and system-facilitated self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies as they studied the human circulatory system with MetaTutor, a hypermedia-based ITS. Using hierarchical clustering, results showed a difference in learning between clusters differing in metacognitive monitoring process usage. Specifically, learners who used both CEs and FOKs for a greater proportion of monitoring strategy usage had significantly greater learning gains than learners who used MPTGs. Implications for monitoring strategy usage across different micro-processes and the development of ITSs to facilitate and scaffold learners’ interactions with these micro-processes via prompting are discussed.
