Abstract
Improving self-regulated learning among students is more sustainable when transferable skills, such as metacognitive skills, are developed. Many students face challenges in learning due to lack of effective self-regulated learning strategies. This study proposes the design of CogNoTutoR, a web-based tool aimed at enhancing metacognitive skills in mathematical problem-solving through personalized feedback. The system employs a validated 12-item questionnaire (Content Validation: 0.9; Reliability [Ordinal Alpha]: 0.89) to assess students’ initial metacognitive levels and generate tailored feedback. A pilot study involving mathematics lecturers, students, and interface designers is planned to refine the system further. Future developments include the integration of automated grading and the expansion of the application to multidisciplinary contexts, supporting sustainable educational practices.
