Teaching for Effective Learning
Metacognition is the process of thinking about one’s own thinking and learning.
It involves knowing when you know, knowing when you don’t know, and knowing what to do when you don’t know. In other words, it involves self-monitoring and correcting your own learning processes. For example, you engage in metacognition if you notice that you are having more trouble learning concept A than concept B, or if you realize that your approach to solving a problem is not working, and you decide to try a different approach. Metacognition also involves knowing yourself as a learner; that is, knowing your strengths and weaknesses as a learner. For example, if you can explain what your strengths are in academic writing, or exam taking, or other types of academic tasks, then you are metacognitively aware. Metacognitive processes can be applied to learning and thinking in all disciplines and contexts. It is an essential skill for life-long learning, and therefore, metacognitive skills need to be taught and discussed with students. Metacognitive approach to supporting student learning involves promoting student metacognition – teaching students how to think about how they think and how they approach learning. Why is this important? It makes thinking and learning visible to students Link:https://www.queensu.ca/teachingandlearning/modules/students/24_metacognition.html

Extensive research findings about the role of metacognition in areas such as problem solving, reading, writing, learning, etc. indicate that the current education system should be moved in the direction of emphasizing metacognition. If education seeks to train students who can solve the various problems of tomorrow’s changing society and take responsibility for their own learning, they should include metacognition in their programs and expand their skills. metacognitive. Because metacognitive skills help people adapt to new situations. Many experts, including Jacobsen, are of the opinion that any reform in the educational system requires considering Taking the findings of metacognitive research and using them in educational programs.
An example of metacognition is understanding that one text is better for us than another. Also, when we see that the previous solution does not work for us, we change our mental decision to solve the problem, we are shining.
Thus,the characteristic of metacognition is very important in making decisions and solving porblems
We must know our strengths and weaknesses and know how to fix and improve them
Conclusion from the article: Metacognition and the process of thinking and learning requires knowing oneself as a learner and a metacognitive approach to support student learning, including promoting student metacognition, teaches students how to think about their way of thinking and how they deal with learning.
My personal opinion: Metacognition and the process and thinking that was said require self-knowledge 1. The mind is a very simple and attractive guide for the growth and intelligence and emotional and social health of the child and the educational challenges of the parents and their caregivers. Example: Two brains are better than one brain. and the brain of the lower class
In my opinion, using tried and tested methods of how to memorize and learn, each person can choose and use the one that works best for them by trial and error.
I wish schools work on metacognition of students so that they know their strengths and weaknesses better. Lack of knowledge about weaknesses and strengths causes waste of energy and lower self-confidence and affects the future of a person.
Considering the importance of the subject of learning as well as the high value of time and its limitations, if you intend to learn, it is better to waste your time and save both time and energy by learning effectively
having a epistemological look to teaching and learning cause the society scientific improvements. we went to school for 12 years and the outcome was nothing which demonstrate disorder in educational system.
Hi professor
we can become powerful and master the expression of our emotions.I hope I can make myself stronger with metacognition.In fact, when this happens, learning is complete and accompanied by understanding the material.
It is hoped that one day this theory will dominate the society and prevent people from wasting their energy
hi,In fact, sometimes a person is faced with an issue that she has never seen before, and in what she sees, she is herself in a form beyond her previous self.
Hello Dr.
Thank’s to sharing this article with us.
this is a really helpful topic. by studying this kind of topics we can control our thoughts and behave better.
I believe that if a person knows his strengths and weaknesses, he can be more successful. For example, a person who always considers his lack of learning as a disability, but in fact, the problem is knowing himself.
I am interested in metacognition and i believe its very good to know our strength and weakness because we should know how to deal with stuff and know ourselves better.
The bitter truth is that these points are not paid attention to in Iran’s educational system
Hello So nice tnx for sharing this with us
This concept is one of the concepts of mind theory, which generally has two components: one knowledge of cognition, and the other to rule cognition. The human child is not yet equipped with Metacognitive before elementary school and is unable to understand the opinions and thoughts and feelings of others, from the age of four to realize that others’ thoughts and beliefs affect their behavior, and that they may even be far from reality.
Metacognition is an interesting subject for being taught in schools and any other academic environments. To me, actually, its a must consider in every academic curriculum.
If we learn what to do and what to say where and under what conditions, we can become powerful and master the expression of our emotions.
It is an essential skill for life-long learning, and therefore, metacognitive skills need to be taught and discussed with students
To know ourselves and to find our weak and strong points, then we reach the metacognition of consciousness
I am also a little weak in knowing my abilities and limitations, I hope I can make myself stronger with metacognition.
So nice tnx for sharing this with us
I believe that if every person knows how to remember information better, he can save more time and be more successful. For example, we see people every day who think that the reason for their lack of learning is their disability, when in most cases it is because of the wrong way of learning.
Hi professor
I think learning the material should be such that one can use this information at special times when this happens when this happens to be fully and fully

Remembering the material after several times and also the speed of remembering it also has an effective role in the type of learning. Learning the material should be in such a way that a person can make the most of this information at specific times. In fact, when this happens, learning is complete and accompanied by understanding the material.
The learner must have developed physically, emotionally, intellectually, etc. so that learning can be done well. If some aspects of preparation are not acquired, learning will be boring and boring and not much progress will happen.
It is good that schools teach metacognitive skills to children so that children are aware of their weaknesses and strengths to discover their talents.
