A collection of thirty-four international scholars are contributing to a book titled:
Metacognition: New Ways to Think and Learn
The 34 contributing authors represent the countries of Belize, Canada, England, Malaysia, Russia, Scotland, and eight states within the USA. This book is comprised of 18 chapters. It is edited by Dr. Judith McConnell Mikkelson, facilitator at the Oxford Round Table Symposium, and is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Pamela R. Cook who unexpectantly passed away on February 18, 2024. Dr. Cook had envisioned editing a book on metacognition, thus the inspiration for this book.
Dr. Cook was an educator best known as the originator of the Belizean International Symposium on Education which for twelve years annually benefitted the children and teachers of Belize, Central America. Dr. Cook was a prolific writer of 6 books published by Cambridge Scholars’ Press and a contributor to professional literature with frequent presentations at international conferences. During the past 20 years she was a delegate and presented numerous papers at our Oxford Round Table Symposiums and frequently her articles were published in The Forum on Public Policy. Dr. Cook was truly “a friend” of the Oxford Round Table Symposium and she is sorely missed.
