Metacognition refers to thinking about one's own thinking and learning processes. It involves planning, monitoring, and evaluating one's comprehension and learning strategies. Teachers can help students with learning disabilities by teaching metacognitive strategies, which allow students to deliberately select thinking strategies appropriate for the task and regulate their cognitive activities. Some key metacognitive strategies include connecting new information to prior knowledge, planning before a task, monitoring comprehension while working, and evaluating performance after completing a task. The goal of metacognition is to develop lifelong learning skills and self-awareness of one's problem-solving abilities.
