Metacognition is an awareness of one's own thought processes and an understanding of the patterns behind them.
"Thinking about thinking"
The key for Metacognition is about one’s own cognition process and regulating those processes to maximize learning
Similar to metacognitive knowledge, metacognitive regulation or "regulation of cognition" contains three skills that are essential (Schraw, 1998).
Planning: refers to the appropriate selection of strategies and the correct allocation of resources that affect task performance.
Monitoring: refers to one's awareness of comprehension and task performance
Evaluating: refers to appraising the final product of a task and the efficiency at which the task was performed. This can include re-evaluating strategies that were used.
Social metacognition
— The combination of social psychology and metacognition
Judging the cognition of others, such as judging the perceptions and emotional states of others (Jost JT, 1998). This is in part because the process of judging others is similar to judging the self. However, individuals have less information about the people they are judging; therefore, judging others tends to be more inaccurate. Having similar cognitions can buffer against this inaccuracy and can be helpful for teams or organizations, as well as interpersonal relationships.
