knowledgeMetacognition is “knowledge of one’s knowledge, processes, and cognitive and affective states;and the ability to consciously and deliberately monitor and regulate one’s knowledge, processes,and cognitive and affective states” (Hacker, 1998, p. 3). This definition, and others (e.g., Brown& DeLoache, 1978; Kluwe, 1982; Schraw & Moshman, 1995; Veenman, Van Hout-Wolters, &Afflerbach, 2006), identifies both declarative and procedural components of metacognition (seeFigure 1). Metacognitive declarative knowledge consists of a person’s knowledge or beliefsabout: (a) one’s cognitive and affective states and the states of others; (b) a task, its demands,and how those demands can be met under varying conditions; and (c) strategies foraccomplishing

theYouTube channel and 3b shows its statistical report from September 2016 to March 31, 2018. The students enrolled and participated in Fall 2016 and Spring 2017 are n=21 and n=33respectively. During the control period (Fall 2015 semester) n=20 students were enrolled andparticipated. A student survey indicates that, on an average, a student watched concept movies 4-6 times with an average view time of nearly 10-15 minutes. This repeated watching is self-regulated. It provides a context for the students to make conceptual connections and repairs at apace they determine. To date these videos are watched nearly 34000 times with a total view timeof more than 55000 minutes over 125 countries as per YouTube statistics (fig. 3 b). Thisintervention also

respect to these troublesome concepts; see Appendix B); and Analysis of exam grades (where the grades for specific exam questions are correlated to the threshold concepts pointed out by the students).It should be noted that all activities are conducted in such a way that the students’ identity is notcompromised. For example, the research assistant is the person to transcribe the minute papers,think-aloud sessions, self-reflections, and end-of-term surveys. The instructors themselves do nothave any information as to which students even participate in the study. This way, students areneither rewarded, nor penalized for helping out in the study.Preliminary resultsThe courses under study in the threshold concepts identification part of this
