Study 5 aims to develop a professional development programme in metacognition for teachers and to evaluate its impact on teachers’ conceptions of metacognition and their metacognitive instructional strategies. Drawing upon the insights from Sub-studies 1 to 4 to develop a professional development programme for teachers to improve their own metacognitive practices and also their metacognitive instructional strategies. A mixed-method design will be employed to examine the effectiveness of the professional development programme. The study allows for a more holistic, multi-dimensional, multi-perspective, and in-depth approach in designing the PDPM anchored in the strengths of the Singapore curriculum, but also sets the stage for a sustained, concerted approach in teacher professional development. It hopes to enhance the applicability of the PDPM model while still maintaining the nuances of subject-specific needs in the incorporation of metacognitive instructional strategies in Singapore classrooms
