This session is part of the Improving Your Teaching Skills certificate program for graduate students and postdocs\, and it also fulfills Competencies 2 of the Teaching and Generative AI Pathways Program.  \nAudience: Graduate students and/or postdocs (register through the link below or under “Website” at the bottom of this page)  \nREGISTER URL:https://teaching.rutgers.edu/event/ai-and-academic-integrity-grad-postdoc-workshop-2/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Workshop ORGANIZER;CN="Institute for Teaching%2C Innovation%2C &%3B Inclusive Pedagogy":MAILTO:TeachingInstitute@rutgers.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261027T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261027T153000 DTSTAMP:20260923T021845 CREATED:20260911T182139Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260911T182421Z UID:6160-1793109600-1793115000@teaching.rutgers.edu SUMMARY:Metacognition is Uniquely Human: Metacognitive Strategies in the Age of Generative AI  DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by: School of Arts and Sciences Office of Undergraduate Education \nLocation: Pane Room in the Alexander Library (College Avenue) \nMetacognition—our unique human ability to think about our own thinking—can help us gauge if\, when\, and how to use GenAI to support learning. The more we understand metacognition\, the better we can support learners in developing metacognitive skills and strategies that empower them to navigate the current technological landscape productively and with integrity. This interactive session provides an exploration of what metacognition is\, its relevance in the age of GenAI\, and easy-to-implement strategies that support metacognition in any discipline. \nExplicitly including metacognitive strategies into a course doesn’t have to take much time or even replace course content; participants can consider various ways to intentionally infuse these strategies into pre-existing coursework. \nREGISTER URL:https://teaching.rutgers.edu/event/metacognition-is-uniquely-human-metacognitive-strategies-in-the-age-of-generative-ai/ LOCATION:Pane Room in the Alexander Library (College Avenue)\, 169 College Avenue\, New Brunswick\, NJ\, 08901\, United States CATEGORIES:Workshop ORGANIZER;CN="SAS Office of Undergraduate Education":MAILTO:teachinglearning@sas.rutgers.edu END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
