    Metacognition is the ability to think about and regulate one’s own thoughts.

    Teaching metacognitive strategies can improve learners’ performance at


    school. This makes it a good, evidence-based target for intervention.

    A simplified definition of metacognition is “thinking about thinking”,


    but metacognition also encompasses the regulation  of these
    thoughts – the ability to change them. It is a step further than
    simple awareness of thought processes, incorporating the ability to
    alter thoughts and behaviours. Explicitly teaching learners strategies
    for metacognition has been shown to lead to improvements in
    attainment.

    Encouraging metacognition is therefore a relatively straightforward


    and cheap way to improve learning. The Education Endowment
    Foundation (EEF) describes metacognition approaches as having
    “consistently high levels of impact”, while acknowledging that they
    can also be a challenge to implement.

    hinking about One's Thinking


    More precisely, it refers to the processes used to plan, monitor, and assess one's
    understanding and performance. Metacognition includes a critical awareness of a)
    one's thinking and learning and b) oneself as a thinker and learner.
