Metacognition: Thinking About Thinking

Metacognition refers to thinking about one's own thinking. It includes being aware of one's own knowledge, thought processes, and learning strategies. Metacognition enhances learning by guiding students' thinking and helping them monitor their understanding. It has two main components - knowledge of cognition, which is awareness of one's own thinking and learning; and regulation of cognition, which involves planning, monitoring, and evaluating one's learning. Key aspects of metacognition include planning activities, monitoring comprehension, and evaluating progress.
