28. Metacognitive reflection
Major question
Has thinking with AI changed the way I think?
Description
Metacognition turns attention from the answer to the development of the participant's understanding. It asks which concepts, assumptions, questions, uncertainties, and habits changed through the interaction.
Review the development of our conversation about the economic value of beauty in tourism. Identify how my understanding changed, which assumptions I abandoned, which concepts I introduced, which questions became more important, and which uncertainties remain. Distinguish changes caused by evidence, by reframing, by your suggestions, and by my own judgement. Then ask me five questions that help me reflect on how my thinking changed.
Expected impact
Metacognition shifts attention from the deliverable to the learning trace. You evaluate your intellectual progress and AI's influence, not only the final artefact.
What did AI help me know, and how did working with AI change the way I think?
