Metacognition

    Metacognition is essential for good learning because it helps a student to take the best approach to help the student learn the material and retain the information. By using metacognitive strategies such as self-planning and self-monitoring a student can become aware of the different ways that help them succeed. If a teacher provides examples of metacognitive strategies to the students, the students could be more apt to using metacognitive thinking. As the students use metacognition they will not only improve their success in the classroom but also improve their learning capabilities. 

Here is a video of metacognition in mathematics Video.
