Abstract

This study explored the incidence of metacognition to verify improvements in the pedagogical competence of the class planning process of a fourth-grade Salvadoran teacher in a public school. Under a qualitative approach, a case study was designed to collect data from a pretest and a post test on the concept of metacognition and its implications and 10 observations in situ, accompanied by reflection sessions and the corresponding records of the teaching strategies used to deliver the class. The results demonstrated positive changes in the thinking, discourse, and actions of the teacher aimed at improving their instructive mediation. These results reveal that it is possible to achieve teacher professional development with minimal resources through the practice of metacognition autonomously.
