| Abstract: | In the research literature several positions concerning the role played by metacognition in adaptive strategy choice can be
distinguished. While many authors adhere so-called metacognitive models of strategy choice and strategy change, others have
questioned the extent to which metacognitive factors are associated with strategy choice and task performance and have proposed
alternative theoretical frameworks wherein strategy choices are described in terms of associative models. In the present article
we report data coming from a larger research project on the development of children’s numerosity judgement strategies and
skills. The experimental task involved judging numerosities of colored blocks presented in a rectangular grid. Participants
were 59 second grade and 50 sixth grade children, whose strategic performance data — obtained by means of a systematic analysis
of their response-time patterns — were compared with interview data collected at the end of the experiment. The major result
of this comparison is that not only the children from the oldest age group, but also the children from the youngest age group
showed clear evidence of metacognitive awareness and understanding of different aspects of their strategic performance. |
