Metacognition

Metacognition Making the Invisible Visible === Metacognition means thinking about thinking. It refers to thinking which involves active control over the cognitive processes engaged in learning. Activities such as planning how to approach a given learning task, monitoring comprehension, and evaluating progress toward the completion of a task are metacognitive in nature. Metacognition is the ability to be aware of your own learning processes, as well as knowing what works best for you. It means being able to recognize whether you are learning the information you are studying, and knowing how to improve your learning. Many students think about metacognition as their "inner coach," their awareness and knowledge of how they learn and how they will control the process.
