Operations of the Cognitive-Metacognitive System in Promoting Learning: a Brief Theoretical Analysis

Metacognition helps educators develop better teaching and learning strategies, contexts, materials. But, the development use of good strategies materials as guided by metacognition require understanding how it promotes efficiency cognitive system in learning. This article proposes a cognitive-metacognitive that illustrates metacognitive based on pioneers’ research subject (1979 to 2009). Cognitive performs activities knowing, understanding, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, evaluating inputs reach at goals. Metacognitive assisting promote its efficiency. The proposed enters into six-step sequence mental process (i.e., data, information, lessons, observations, problems, tasks, other inputs) yield outputs actions, artifacts, behaviors). identifying deploying appropriate effective tools for processing regulating processing. also effectiveness promoting depends ability helping learners’ generate manageable meta-level models
