Metacognition, the ability to self-regulate one's learning and performance, is well-known to provide numerous academic and professional benefits for students, educators, and clinicians. However, few studies have studied metacognition specifically in the context of anatomical sciences education. Therefore, the overarching purpose of this dissertation was to explore the metacognition of students and educators who are learning and teaching the anatomical sciences.This dissertation investigated the metacognition of allied health students (physical therapy, physician assistant, and occupational therapy; n=109), first-year medical students (n=1802), and anatomy educators (faculty, associate instructors, and teaching assistants; n=13) in anatomy courses through three multiple-methods studies. Quantitative data were collected using assessment data and either the Metacognition Awareness Inventory (MAI), Practice-Based Learning and Improvement (PBLI) assignments, or Teacher Metacognition Inventory (TMI). These data were then analyzed using the appropriate descriptive and inferential statistics. Qualitative data were also collected through reflective writing activities (e.g., online discussion boards or reflective journals) and analyzed using thematic or framework analysis.Overall, both students and educators improved their metacognition across a semester of either learning or teaching anatomy, with certain subgroups demonstrating greater metacognitive ability or growth than others. Higher performing allied health and medical students were both more accurate at predicting their exam performances compared to their lower performing peers. Faculty also demonstrated the greatest teaching-specific metacognition, though teaching assistants exhibited the greatest growth in their teaching-specific metacognition. These improvements were primarily in their reflective ability and awareness of personal strengths and weaknesses as teachers. Several notable themes relating to metacognition were also identified such as student willingness to monitor learning diminishing over time due to competing academic or professional commitments. Additionally, novice educators were more inwardly-focused on personal traits and content mastery, whereas experienced educators were more outwardly-focused on interpersonal factors (e.g., student rapport and inclusive language).These insights into the metacognition of both students and educators can inform how to best support and improve teaching and learning in the anatomical sciences. Given the significance of metacognition, it may be beneficial to incorporate educational activities that can support the metacognition of both students and educators, simultaneously.
