Recent investigations have established the importance of metacognition in the acquisition and application of learning skills in diverse domains of inquiry (Alexander, Fabricius, Fleming, Zwahr & Brown, 2003). Although the concept “metacognition” has been defined in numerous ways Sperling, Howard and Staley (2004) suggest a focus on its component parts, which are knowledge about cognition and re...

In order to study the role of metacognition and self-regulation in student learning, college students were asked to solve problems in mathematics using an ITS assisting metacognition at the forethought stage. Activity involved selecting relevant facts and strategies and connecting them by arrows. It is found that patterns of arrow drawing have significant correlates in student performance and c...

Two studies were conducted to investigate measures of children’s metacognition. Experiment 1 presented two versions of a self-report inventory, the Jr. MAI, appropriate for assessing metacognition in children in grades 3–9. Factor analyses are interpreted that illustrate how the items measure components of metacognition. Experiment 2 further addressed properties of the two versions and compared...

Decision-making is usually accompanied by metacognition, through which a decision maker 14 monitors the decision uncertainty and consequently revises the decision, even prior to feedback. 15 However, the neural mechanisms of metacognition remain controversial: one theory proposes 16 that metacognition coincides the decision-making process; and another addresses that it entails 17 an independent...

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). Cognit...
