Grading of acquisition level.

Skill type	Acquisition level
	0	1	2	3	4
Orientation Metacognitive Skills	Never uses the strategy	Centers on the task (objective)	Asks superficial questions with respect to the objective of the task	Applies the strategy both to the object of the task and to the previous knowledge needed to resolve it	Uses the strategy in a reflexive way in relation to the resolution of the task
Planning Metacognitive Skills	Never uses the strategy	No plan of action is observed for the resolution of the task	Uses test-error strategies	Systematic steps are not followed in resolving the task	Follows a carefully designed plan
Evaluation Metacognitive Skill	Never uses the strategy	No comprehension of the task is observed	Self-corrects errors	Performs monitoring of the evaluation through questions during problem-solving	Completes a final evaluation of the resolution process
Elaboration Metacognitive Skills	Never uses the strategy	Occasionally reflects at times on the objective of the task and the responses needed for its resolution	Conducts systematic reflection both on the objective of the task and on the responses for its solution	Conducts systematic reflection both on the objective of the task and on the responses for its resolution and identification of the most significant conclusions	Reflects on how learning has taken place and on generalization strategies for other tasks
