    • Meta-memory: Understanding personal memory and mnemonic strategies.
    • Metacognitive Knowledge: Awareness of one’s cognitive processes and knowledge about others as learners.

    Novice vs. Expert Learners

    • Novice Learners: Typically possess poor learning strategies leading to shallow understanding and are often at the beginning stages of learning.
    • Expert Learners: Effectively apply metacognitive strategies, constantly monitor their learning, and adjust methods to enhance effectiveness.
