Abstract: Preschool children not only have the metacognitive ability,and we can promote the development of preschoolers' metacognition through the appropriate way ,mathematical individualized learning is a conducive environment for children's metacognitive training, thus it is feasible to cultivate children's metacognitive ability in mathematical individualized learning.We used the action research method to promote the improvement of children's metacognition ability by increasing the link of metacognition in mathematical individualized learning with six teachers in Henan University affiliated kindergarten.
The study lasted about one years in three age groups, and selecting 3-4 mathematical individualized learning activities to conduct metacognitive training in each age class.
The key focus of the children aged 3-4 is Task knowledge. The key focus of the children aged 4-5 is the discussion and planning before activities, and the recording , verification after the activities, The key focus of the children aged 5-6 is discussion and planning before activities, monitoring and correction in activities, records, reflection, discussion after the activities. There are three stages in the action research, metacognitive knowledge learning stage, planning recording stage, evaluation reflection stage.The main strategy adopted is to carry out effective teacher child interaction in the process of Metacognition Training. More teachers use heuristic questions to guide children to think. In practice, we designed the following links. Before operation, "Asking yourself", "Thinking", "Planning"; In operation, "Thinking again ", "Looking back", " Modification"; After operation, " Recording", "Comment ", " Expression".The results of pre-post test show that children's mathematical ability and metacognitive ability were significantly improved in mathematics individualized learning.This model also promotes the professional development of teachers.
