Metacognition involves thinking about one's own cognitive processes and thinking style. It is essential for effective learning as it allows people to self-monitor and adapt their learning strategies. The advantages of metacognition include developing independent, life-long learners who can control their own learning. Teachers can foster metacognition in students by using multiple representations of concepts and activities to help students think about how they learn best. The goal of metacognition is to help students set learning goals and adapt their strategies based on self-monitoring of progress towards goals.

3. What is Metacognition?
• Metacognition involves thinking about one’s
own cognitive processes
o Thinking about one’s thinking, learning,
reasoning, problem solving
• Metacognition is essential for effective
learning in complex situations

4. Advantages:
o Enhances and enriches the learning experience
o Applying metacognitive strategies such as self-awareness
and self monitoring is to develop independent learners
who can control their own learning and learn how to learn
for life“
o Provides self-monitoring, which is a step-by-step process
of evaluation during the learning process.
o Develops higher learning and problem solving skills

5. Disadvantages:
o Poor self-esteem
o Difficulty in problem solving
o Poor reading comprehension
o Poor language and communication
skills
o Difficulty in obtaining success in
society

6. Effective learning
involves
• Planning and goal-setting
• Monitoring one’s progress
• Adapting as needed

8. How to Put Metacognition in
Process for Teachers
1. Recognize the key points of Metacognition: think
"multiple representations" for critical thinking -- not just
words, but learning experiences through a set of
activities that help students think about their learning
2. Seek "linguistic intelligence" (word smart): deal
with improving the language for imparting knowledge,
accurate word use, selection of phrases, and pauses
(such as wait time for student reaction and to answer
questions) in oral and written forms, where strategies
like thinking aloud while performing a task include
self-questioning

9. 3. Evaluate "logical intelligence" (reasoning smart): answer a
question using a plan and steps -- show comprehension by
explaining the concept, applying It
4. Project "spatial intelligence" (visually smart): instruct students
to use their abilities to create two- and three-dimensional pictures
(in the mind) for the concrete or abstract subject to apply and
transfer it
5. Use Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence ("body smart"): physical
action and interaction, physical stimulus and robust body activities
are the best pathways to help them learn. Acting out learning as
much as possible, activities to walk around when they are learning.
6. Know your "intra-personal intelligence" (be self smart): get on
useful terms with oneself (self-motivate, plan, start/take initiative,
be industrious/follow-through, finish, report out).

10. Setting the target
1. Changing students’ beliefs about
learning
2. Teaching planning and goal setting
3. Giving practice at monitoring/adapting

11. Application
1. The student should be able to share
their thoughts
2. The student will be able to reach
critical thinking
3. The student will be able to develops
higher learning

12. The strongest factor to success is
self- esteem: Believing you can do it,
believing you deserve it, believing
you will get it.
