Study Notes
Metacognition Defined
- Metacognition refers to awareness and understanding of one’s own thought processes.
- The term was popularized by Flavell, who highlighted the active monitoring and regulation of cognitive processes.
- In essence, it is “thinking about thinking” and involves knowledge about one’s cognitive abilities.
Components of Metacognition
- Metacognition consists of two key elements: metacognitive knowledge and metacognitive regulation.
- Metacognitive knowledge is the understanding of cognition and includes:
- Declarative Knowledge: Awareness of facts and one’s learning abilities.
- Procedural Knowledge: Knowledge on how to execute skills and tasks.
- Conditional Knowledge: Knowing when and why to apply specific strategies.
Metacognitive Knowledge
- Declarative knowledge may not always be accurate due to potential misjudgment of one’s abilities.
- Procedural knowledge encompasses the processes and skills needed for task completion.
- Conditional knowledge involves selecting and applying appropriate strategies to varying contexts.
Metacognitive Regulation
- Metacognitive regulation is the ability to monitor and assess one’s own learning processes.
- It involves three critical processes:
- Planning: Setting goals and selecting appropriate strategies for learning.
- Monitoring: Ongoing awareness of comprehension and task performance.
- Evaluating: Assessing the effectiveness of learning and outcomes.
Planning
- Effective planning includes identifying strategies and allocating resources to enhance performance.
- Goals in learning can be mastery-oriented (focused on learning) or performance-oriented (focused on evaluation against peers).
Monitoring
- Monitoring entails continuous awareness of cognitive processes and task demands.
- Questions during monitoring may include assessing one’s prior knowledge and strategy appropriateness.
Evaluating
- Evaluation involves examining the results of learning processes and determining their success.
- Learners often reflect on what they have learned and how they can improve in future tasks.
Principles of Metacognitive Instruction
- Effective metacognitive teaching should integrate task-specific knowledge with procedural understanding.
- Teachers should demonstrate the benefits of metacognitive skills to motivate learners to exert effort.
- Training in metacognition should be extended over time to facilitate mastery and application of skills.
Importance of Metacognition
- Enhances learners’ confidence in their abilities by recognizing strengths and weaknesses.
- Supports transfer of learning as students apply learned skills to new contexts effectively.
