CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Metacognition is the process of thinking about one’s own thinking and learning.

Detailed explanation-2: -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 a) one’s thinking and learning and b) oneself as a thinker and learner.

Detailed explanation-3: -Metacognition starts when students think about the strategies they will use to perform a task. Metacognition happens when they choose the most effective strategies and decide for themselves whether the outcome of these strategies meets the standards.

Detailed explanation-4: -Metacognition, thinking about thinking, helps learners to recognise how they solve problems. Doing it provides the opportunity to develop their problem-solving techniques, rather than learning the solution to a specific problem. And it’s simple to try in class.

Detailed explanation-5: -True or false: When it comes to learning, metacognition (e.g., thinking about thinking) can be just as important as intelligence. While intelligence is certainly a prerequisite, metacognition is a key element to advancing and taking control of one’s own learning.
