Abstract: Students find it relatively natural to catch other people's errors, even if they are not inclined to catch their own. A total of sixty-two nine- to eleven-year-old students participated in two studies that tested the hypothesis that monitoring the reasoning of a pedagogical agent solving math problems, can help students learn the skill of monitoring, and eventually self- correct when solving math problems. A projective pedagogical agent "ProJo" was designed to openly displays its reasoning when solving math problems allowing children to "look for mistakes". Two testing environments "Doodle Math", and "Puzzle Math" were implemented to directly compare self-monitoring and self-other monitoring treatment. The results showed initial evidence that self-other monitoring may be an effective way to help students develop metacognitive skills to self-correct and accurately solve problems.
