Abstract: This pilot study used a mixed methods approach to explore young
students' understandings of the metacognitive experiences of two fictional peers, one
struggling reader and one proficient reader. Participants listened to two audio recordings,
one of a same-aged proficient reader, and one of a same-aged struggling reader.
Participants completed an interview consisting of multiple choice ... read moreand open-response
questions, asking them to reflect on the metacognitive experiences of each reader. Five
metacognitive experiences were addressed: estimate of effort, feeling of satisfaction,
feeling of difficulty, feeling of familiarity, and feeling of confidence. From the data,
there emerged five types of approaches that students used to characterize the metacognitive
experiences of each reader. The implications of this study are that even young children
have a complex understanding of the metacognitive experiences of their peers, and should be
challenged to utilize that understanding in high-quality collaborative learning
contexts.
