Metacognitive skills which provide regulation and management of students’ intellectual activity in the process their self-education are great importance, especially context learner-centered education paradigm global information space, with its focus on self-study self-development an individual. In this regard, article aimed to analyze development metacognitive first year students by means educa...

I describe two aspects of metacognition, knowledge of cognition and regulation of cognition, and how they are related to domain-specific knowledge and cognitive abilities. I argue that metacognitive knowledge is multidimensional, domain-general in nature, and teachable. Four instructional strategies are described for promoting the construction and acquisition of metacognitive awareness. These i...

Learning in search can take the form of changes in conceptual knowledge and procedural knowledge at a cognitive level. Searchers may also gain insights into their cognitive process though their metacognitive experiences and thereby acquire metacognitive knowledge which may also influence their search process and outcomes. This paper describes the concepts of metacognition, metacognitive knowled...

Metacognitive knowledge is knowledge about learning. Recent research suggests that metacognitive knowledge plays an important function in cognitive activities concerning language use and acquisition. This paper aims to investigate the role of metacognitive knowledge in the English writing of Chinese EFL learners. The present study involves 120 non-English major freshmen in China as participants...

Previous studies in our laboratory have shown the benefits of immediate feedback on cognitive performance for pathology residents using an intelligent tutoring system (ITS) in pathology. In this study, we examined the effect of immediate feedback on metacognitive performance, and investigated whether other metacognitive scaffolds will support metacognitive gains when immediate feedback is faded...

The neural mechanisms that mediate metacognitive ability (the capacity to accurately reflect on one's own cognition and experience) remain poorly understood. An important question is whether metacognitive capacity is a domain-general skill supported by a core neuroanatomical substrate or whether regionally specific neural structures underlie accurate reflection in different cognitive domains. P...

This paper provides guidelines for designing metacognitive maps in web-based learning environments. A metacognitive map is a visual interface-based tool that supports metacognition throughout the entire learning process. Inspired by the four key metacognitive skills of planning, monitoring, evaluating, and revising, the metacognitive map is composed of two sub-maps (global and local tracking ma...

the present paper investigated the effectiveness of concept mapping as a learning strategy on efl students’ self-regulation (metacognitive self-regulation, time and study environment, effort regulation, peer learning, and help seeking). sixty university students participated in the study. they were randomly assigned to control and experimental groups, each including thirty students. they were a...
