Describe each
Flavell further divides metacognitive knowledge into three categories: knowledge
of person variables - Refers to general knowledge about how human beings learn
and process information, as well as individual knowledge of one's own learning
processes.
task variables - Task variables are about what someone already knows about a
particular task and the requirements to perform this task
strategy variables - the strategies that a person is always ready to apply in various
ways to accomplish a task.
2. Give the Practices of metacognition according to Omrod.
Knowing the limits of one’s own learning and memory capacities.
Knowing what learning tasks one can realistically accomplish within a certain
amount of time.
