Metacognition means “thinking about thinking.” Metacognition includes adjusting learning strategies based on an awareness of personal and group learning styles, strengths, and weaknesses. It also includes adjusting learning strategies to fit the task at hand. Another part of metacognition is epistemic cognition, or knowledge about knowledge, which includes awareness of what can and cannot be known, to what degree of certainty a thing can be known, how what is known came to be known, and what it means to know something. Recent studies suggest that metacognition is a major component of intelligence and learning capacity. (Gay, online learning course)
