From the module on metacognition, I realized that 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.
In addition, metacognition is, put simply, thinking 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 one's thinking and learning and
oneself as a thinker and learner.

Metacognitoion increases student motivation because students feel more in control of

their own learning. Students who learn metacognitive strategies are more aware of their own
thinking, and more likely to be active learners who learn more deeply. It is important in every
aspect of school and life, since it involves self-reflection on one’s current position, future goals,
potential actions and strategies, and results. Perhaps the most important reason for developing
metacognition is that it can improve the application of knowledge, skills, and character qualities
in realms beyond the immediate context in which they were learned. This can result in the
transfer of competencies across disciplines important for students preparing for real life
situations where clear cut divisions of disciplines fall away and one must select competencies
from the entire gamut of their experience to effectively apply them to the challenges at hand.
Even within academic settings, it is valuable and often necessary to apply principles and
methods across disciplinary lines.
