Meanwhiler a failure of metacegnition might lead to careless mistakes.Forsberg points out an amportant part of metacognition called meta-memory.It is the awareness of and control we have over what we remember and what we've forgotten.The problem for children is that they may not realize they have forgotten something.For example,a child who fails to complete a task may have forgouen the instruction,and not realize it has been forgotten.Children believe that if they don't remember seeing something,it was never there at all.However,grown-ups know forgetting happens quite often. The good news is that there are things teachers and parents can do to help.Forsberg advises asking children what they remember about the instructions for a given task.Even if they think the instructions are easy to remember,they may still have forgotten something,so double-checking is always a good idea.Besides,making children describe what they learned in a lesson can help them realize not everything has been kept in their memory. When children develop a better awareness of their own memory skills,they can use that information to tailor their learning.That understanding might encourage (students to pause (and re-watch a video they are learning from,or to look back at their notes. Children differ in their metacognitive skills,so some might need to go back and look at what they may have forgotten more often. Metacognition is like having a smart helper in your brain,which makes learning easier.If children understand their own thinking skills,they should be able to help themselves learn more effectively and avoid those seemingly "careless"mistakes. 62.According to the passage,why might children make careless mistakes? A.Because they have too many materials to learn. B.Because they are not listening carefully in class. C.Because they fail to realize they have forgotten something D.Because they dislike most of the subjects they are learning. 63.What is Paragraph 5 mainly about? A.News about teachers and students. B.Ideas for remembering instructions. C.Advice on understanding new lessons.
