Lesson Plan: Metacognitive Practice in Interprofessional Healthcare Settings

Audience

Healthcare professionals across various disciplines interested in enhancing self-awareness, critical thinking, and decision-making in clinical practice.

Workshop Duration

1.5–2 hours

Workshop Objectives

By the end of this workshop, participants will:

1. Understand the concept of metacognitive practice and its relevance in healthcare.

2. Explore strategies to enhance metacognitive skills for better decision-making and teamwork.

3. Apply metacognitive techniques to improve interprofessional collaboration and patient care.

4. Reflect on personal metacognitive practices and identify areas for growth.

Agenda

1. Welcome and Overview (10 minutes)

Icebreaker Activity:

Ask participants to share one challenging decision they made in a healthcare setting and how they approached it.

Overview of objectives, agenda, and key terms (e.g., metacognition, reflection, self-regulation).

2. Understanding Metacognitive Practice (15 minutes)

Mini-Presentation:

Definition of metacognition and its components: planning, monitoring, and evaluating.

Importance of metacognition in healthcare: improving clinical reasoning, minimizing errors, and fostering team communication.

Real-life examples of metacognitive practice in healthcare scenarios.

Interactive Poll:
Use a live polling tool to assess participants’ familiarity with metacognitive strategies.

3. Exploring Metacognitive Strategies (20 minutes)

Small Group Discussion:

Divide participants into interprofessional groups.

Prompt discussion on how their roles require metacognitive thinking.

Assign each group a metacognitive strategy (e.g., reflective journaling, think-aloud protocols, checklists) and ask them to brainstorm its application in healthcare.

Groups present their findings to the room, followed by Q&A.

4. Applying Metacognition in Interprofessional Collaboration (30 minutes)

Role-Playing Activity:

Present a case study involving a complex patient scenario requiring input from multiple healthcare professionals.

Participants assume specific roles (e.g., nurse, doctor, pharmacist) and work together to develop a care plan.

During the activity, participants must pause to verbalize their thought processes (metacognitive "think-alouds").

Debrief and Discussion:

Analyze how metacognitive practices influenced team decisions and patient outcomes.

Discuss barriers to metacognitive practices in high-pressure environments and solutions to overcome them.

5. Feedback and Reflection (20 minutes)

Self-Reflection Activity:

Participants complete a guided worksheet to assess their current metacognitive practices and set goals for improvement.

Group Sharing:

Volunteers share their reflections and goals.

Facilitator Feedback:

Provide constructive feedback on participant insights and offer practical tips for embedding metacognition into daily practice.

6. Wrap-Up and Next Steps (10 minutes)

Key Takeaways:

Recap the role of metacognition in improving individual and team performance.

Call to Action:

Encourage participants to implement one metacognitive strategy in their practice within the next week.

Q&A Session

Feedback Form:

Distribute workshop feedback forms to gather insights for future sessions.

Materials and Resources

Handouts:

Summary of metacognitive strategies and their applications in healthcare.

Guided reflection worksheet.

Technology:

Projector for slides, live polling tool, and handouts.

Case Study:

A realistic patient scenario requiring interprofessional decision-making.

This lesson plan fosters active engagement, interprofessional collaboration, and personal reflection, ensuring participants leave with actionable strategies to enhance their metacognitive practices in healthcare.
