metacognition

Definition

Metacognition refers to the awareness and understanding of one's own thought processes. It involves self-regulation and reflection on how one learns, allowing students to adapt their strategies to improve learning outcomes.

Example

For instance, a student might recognize that they struggle to remember information from long reading assignments. By applying metacognition, they could decide to take breaks, summarize sections after reading, or use active recall techniques to enhance retention.
