Abstract
The study developed and evaluated a constructivist and metacognitive learning management model (CMLMM) to enhance Thai students' digital-era cognitive skills. Through document analysis and expert review, a four-stage model was created. Subsequently, the model was reviewed by a group of nine experts. The study found that the constructivist and metacognitive learning management model (CMLMM) to promote students' digital era cognitive skills consisted of four stages. These included the (1) Introduction and Reflection, (2) Reviewing and Planning, (3) Investigation and Knowledge Application, and (4) Summary and Evaluation. The experts opined that the model was highly suitable (mean=4.41, SD =0.64) and could serve as a prototype for teaching and learning management for secondary school students.
