Abstract

The teaching and learning approaches which focus on memorization have no place in the “age of knowledge”. The interest now is in training people to learn for life, solve complex problems, think creatively and critically, etc. The goal is to help students develop higher order thinking skills. After a literature review of metacognition theory, it is suggested that the teaching strategy known as “thinking aloud while solving problems” may help students develop higher order thinking skills.
