    Metacognitive Approach

    Uploaded by

    Vicente Aranas Jr.
    Metacognition refers to thinking about one's own thinking. It has two key processes - knowledge of cognition, which includes understanding how learning occurs; and regulation of cognition, such as planning, monitoring, and evaluating one's learning. Teaching metacognitive skills can improve student learning by helping them gain confidence and independence as they take control of their cognitive processes and construct their own knowledge through experience.
