Metacognition refers to higher order thinking which involves active
control over the cognitive processes engaged in learning.
Activities such as planning how to approach a given learning task,
monitoring comprehension, and evaluating progress toward the
completion of a task are metacognitive in nature. Because
metacognition plays a critical role in successful learning, it is
important to study metacognitive activity and development to
determine how students can be taught to better apply their
cognitive resources through metacognitive control. "Metacognition"
is often simply defined as "thinking about thinking". In actuality,
defining metacognition is not that simple. Although the term has
been part of the vocabulary of educational psychologists for the
last couple of decades, and the concept for as long as humans have
been able to reflect on their cognitive experiences, there is much
debate over exactly what metacognition is. One reason for this
confusion is the fact that there are several terms currently used
to describe the same basic phenomenon (e.g., self-regulation,
executive control), or an aspect of that phenomenon (e.g.,
meta-memory), and these terms are often used interchangeably in the
literature. While there are some distinctions between definitions,
all emphasise the role of executive processes in the overseeing and
regulation of cognitive processes. This book presents the latest
research in the field.
