To address this gap, thelibrarian team secured an internal library research grant, to conduct an online survey and observestudents' skills in practice. The original plan was to spend the Fall 2023 semester conducting anonline survey to assess student perceptions of their information literacy skills, and the Spring2024 observing students’ information literacy skills in practice. However, the IRB (InstitutionalReview Board) approval process required substantial procedural planning that the team did notinitially anticipate which resulted in time constraints. Due to timeframe constraints, theobservation component of the study was omitted. To compensate for

Continuedengagement with a metacognitive feature appears to be indicative of higher exam scores. Thisalso implies the possibility of utilizing a metacognitive tool to improve the performance ofstudent outcome modeling by collecting a new type of behavioral data.1 IntroductionBroadly, metacognition means ”thinking about thinking” [1, 2]. Although the specific elements ofmetacognition vary across the literature [3], some commonly accepted metacognitive activitiesinclude planning, self-monitoring, and self-reflecting [4, 5].
