Metacognition
Metacognition is defined as knowing about knowing. To breat it down; Meta from the greek language has many meanings, but in this word it is defined as beyond. Cognition is defined as knowing. There for the derivitives are beyond and knowing. My thought of the metacognition meaning is beyond your thought. You master the thought or idea that you know. I would define it as to "know"" something "beyond" great detail that most people dont know.

Chase,
ReplyDeleteNice job with your definition. How do you think it would be beneficial to be more meta-cognitive as a learner? Why would it help you to "know what you know" when tackling a project?
