    Prof. Trixia Anne Reyes

    able to:
    1. Explain how learning occurs.
    2. Enumerate various metacognition and
    studying techniques.
    3. Identify the metacognitive techniques
    that you find most appropriate for

    METACOGNITION
    -Commonly defined as “thinking about thinking”

    -It is the awareness of the scope and limitations of


    your current knowledge and skills.

    -Includes keeping one’s emotions and motivations


    while learning in check

    -The goal of metacognition is for the student to be


    a self-regulated learner.
    TWO CONCEPTS OF METACOGNITION
    1) Self-appraisal is your personal reflection
    on your knowledge and capabilities.

    2) Self-management is the mental process


    you employ using what you have in
    planning and adapting to successfully
    learn or accomplish a certain task.
    SIMILAR CONCEPTS
    1) Metacognitive knowledge or what you know about how you
    think

    2) Metacognition regulation or how you adjust your thinking


    processes to help you learn better
    THINKING VARIABLES
    •Personal variable, which is your evaluation of your
    strengths and weaknesses in learning

    •Task variable, which is what you know or what you


    think about the nature of the task, as well as what
    strategies the task requires

    Change reading material every hour and do not put similar topics
    together.
    4. Try to incubate your ideas.
