Metacognition

Metacognition and self directed learning

Metacognition is an awareness of one's thought processes and an understanding of the patterns behind them. The term comes from the root word meta, meaning "beyond", or "on top of".[1] Metacognition can take many forms, such as reflecting on one's ways of thinking, and knowing when and how oneself and others use particular strategies for problem-solving.[1][2] There are generally two components of metacognition: (1) cognitive conceptions and (2) cognitive regulation system.[3][4] Research has shown that both components of metacognition play key roles in metaconceptual knowledge and learning.[5][6][4] Metamemory, defined as knowing about memory and mnemonic strategies, is an important aspect of metacognition.[7]

Writings on metacognition date back at least as far as two works by the Greek philosopher Aristotle (384–322 BC): On the Soul and the Parva Naturalia.[8]
