q1 i? Analysis of Scenario 7 shows existing theories do not specify how learners coordinate internal monitoring of processing dynamics with external self-monitoring of output quality. → Gibson 2025

Evidence¶

Gibson 2025¶

Gibson, D. C., Azukas, M. E., & Yilmaz Soylu, M. (2025). A Taxonomy of Metacognitive Learning Scenarios in Professional Contexts: Integrating Systems Theory with Empirical Constraints. https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.24142 doi:10.48550/arxiv.2605.24142

q1 · i? · theoretical · r2

Theoretical gap analysis of Scenario 7 (Core Integrated Learning) in the analysis section. The authors argue this monitoring-multiplicity gap, alongside the dual-source output question, defines part of a research agenda for moving metacognition theory beyond descriptive accounts.

"No existing theory adequately explains how learners coordinate multiple monitoring sources (both internal P→S monitoring of processing dynamics AND external O→I monitoring of output quality)."
