CONCEPT
OF
METACOGNITION

The concept of Metacognition is viewed as

the glue that holds all the thought
processes and preferences together.
It refers to the self-reflective process which
allows one to monitor ones own problemsolving skills and self- examine learning
preferences.
Flavell and other researchers have divided it
into metacognitive skills and
metacognitive knowledge...

It is this self-knowledge that is

the Goal of the Undergraduate
Programs everywhere since it
implies not just the Learning of
Things but Learning how to
learn which is essential to the
goal of lifelong learning
