5. • Metacognition is attributed to Flavell described it as “knowledge concerning
one’s cognitive processes and products or anything related to them, e.g. , the
learning-relevant properties of information data.”
He referred to it as “the active monitoring and consequent regulation and
orchestration of these processes concerning the cognitive objects or data on
which they bear, usually in the service of some concrete goal or
objective”(Flavell,1976).

7. Components of Metacognition
01
Metacognitive knowledge
refers to “what
individuals know about
their cognition or
cognition in general”
(Schraw, 2002). It involves
three kinds of
metacognitive awareness,
namely: declarative
knowledge, procedural
knowledge and
conditional knowledge.
02
The elements of metacognition are
metacognitive knowledge or
knowledge cognition and
metacognitive regulation.

9. Metacognitive Knowledge is the result of an individual’s
metacognitive experiences. Flavell (1979) explained them as
experiences that “an individual has through which knowledge is
attained, or through regulation occurs.” A learner who obtained low
scores in knowledge and skills test becomes aware that he or she has
low declarative and procedural knowledge. In contrast, a learner who
has always scored highest in both the content and skills test has a
strong confidence in his adequacy of knowledge in the subject. The
metacognitive knowledge depends so much on the learner’s
metamemory which is the knowledge of what memory is, how it works,
and how to remember things..

10. Declarative Knowledge or Personal Knowledge refers to the factual information
that we know, and can both be spoken or written. This is also the knowledge about
ourselves as learners and about what factors can influence our performances.
Procedural Knowledge or Task Knowledge refers to information on how to do
something or how to perform the procedural steps that make up a task.
Conditional Knowledge or Strategy Knowledge refers to the knowledge about when
to use a procedure, skill, or strategy or when not to.
