Metacognition & Cognition in Learning.
Cognition is the mental process involved in knowing, understanding and learning. Metacognition as mentioned above is “thinking about your thinking”, a concept dating back to Aristotle – the way in which learners specifically monitor and control their learning. Metacognition describes the processes involved when you as a learner plan, monitor, evaluate and make changes to your own learning behaviour. This concept of knowing how to think is the basis of cognitive learning theory.
Cognitive learning is a branch of cognitive psychology that studies and analyzes how the human mind works during the learning process – it focuses on the mental steps used to acquire, process and understand information.
Research studies have found that metacognition is one of the most effective ways to boost students’ academic performance and enable them to reach their academic potential.
Cognitive learning helps students learn effectively and ensures that the concepts learned are understood, instead of rote learning being temporarily memorized.
Metacognitive Knowledge…
is what you know about yourself as a learner, your knowledge of the course you are studying, and the study strategies that you know will be most effective for you and help you succeed!
Metacognitive Regulation…
is your ability to plan, monitor and evaluate during your study activities. You are applying your metacognitive knowledge in real-time while you are performing the task.
Metacognitive Motivation…
is your willingness to engage in a task which is closely tied to your interest in it and your confidence in your ability to succeed, often referred to as self-efficacy.
“Metacognition is about exactly this. Making unicorns.” – The Metacognition Handbook, Jennifer Webb
BUILD YOUR OWN KNOWLEDGE GRAPH.
“A metacognitive person approaches new tasks with all the experience and understanding which previous tasks have given them. They don´t come to things like a novice, they begin by recognising similarities and differences with things they have seen and done before.” – The Metacognition Book, Jennifer Webb (p.21)
