METACOGNITION

WHAT IS METACOGNITION ?

is defined as "cognition about cognition", or "knowing about knowing” It can take many forms; it includes knowledge about

when and how to use particular strategies for learning or for problem solving.

is the understanding and awareness of one's own mental or cognitive processes.

For example: after a student answers a question or makes a statement, the teacher might say, "Why do you think that?" or, "Is that the only possibility?" or, What evidence do you have for that?" or, "Do you have an example?"

THE METACOGNITIVE PROCESSThe metacognitive process enhances

learning by guiding students' thinking, and by helping the learner follow a wise course of action as he or she thinks through a problem, makes decisions, or attempts to understand a situation or text.

COMPONENTS OF METACOGNITION:

Students Knowledge and Learning Strategies :

-- To use in a particular situation .

Cognitive Monitoring:-- Which includes students ability to select,

use, and monitor learning strategies that complement their learning styles in a specific situation.

WHAT IS MNEMONIC DEVICES ?

-- is any learning technique that aids information retention. Mnemonics aim to translate information into a form that the human brain can retain better than its original form.

METACOGNITION CAN BE DIVIDED IN TWO TYPES OF KNOWLEDGE :

Explicit metacognitive knowledge-- is the ability to monitor ones own cognitive activites.

A perfect example  is about a child who continually is monitoring his/her own speech. When the child makes a mistake when speaking they will stop and say the sentence over again but correctly.

Explicit Metacognitive Knowledge 

-- refers to the conscious factual knowledge

EXAMPLE:For instance, it easy to remember the major

point in the selection rather than to memorize the entire text.

METACOGNITIVE EXPERIENCES

Things happen to us that refers to our understanding and knowledge of our own cognitive process.

METAMEMORY in regards to an individual's ability to manage and monitor the input, storage, search and retrieval of the contents of his own memory. (John Flavell 1971).

ESSENTIAL SKILLS OF METACOGNITION :

PLANNING:Is a form of decision making. Planning allows

us to decide on various aspects.

MONITORING:Means to have a special duty to be

responsible.

EVALUATING:Is developing a sound judgment about the

process and outcome of thinking.

STEPS IN METACOGNITIVE SKILLS:

DIAGNOSIS:Means identifying the problem.

SELECTION OF APPROPRIATE STRATEGIES:Use a specific strategy.

MONITORING:Keeping tract of what we do and how well we are

doing it. EVALUATION:The act of examining or judging the worth of

learning and the usability of a strategy.
