Metacognitive reflection involves students becoming aware of and controlling their own thought processes. It allows students to self-assess their thinking strategies and performance. For knowledge to transfer between contexts, students must be aware of what they know. Teachers can use logs, journals, and self-assessment questions to help students reflect on their work and thinking. This helps students learn to monitor, evaluate, and improve their performance.
