Abstract

Conceptual Change

Goal Orientation

Intellectual Disability

Phonological Awareness

Reading Comprehension

Metacognition is primarily concerned with the human reasoning processes that are necessary to solve problems across many domains and can be applied in a wide range of learning situations, for example, solving a mathematical problem, reading for meaning and memorising a prose passage. Whereas cognition is concerned with what people know and think, metacognition refers to how people think about their own thinking. Metacognition is generally considered to have two components, knowledge or awareness about one’s own cognitive processes, and control or self-regulation of these processes in order to achieve a particular goal (Brown, Bransford, Ferrara, and Campione, 1983; Flavell, 1976).
