Knowledge of cognition or how much we know about what we know and the way we learn (self knowledge) is different from the regulation of that knowledge and how we can apply strategies to learn (self regulation).

Flavell (1979) provides us with an understanding of how metacognition is related to; 1) a person’s knowledge consisting of self knowledge and beliefs, 2) task knowledge (a knowledge of task demands) and 3) strategy knowledge (relating to the selection of appropriate useful strategies). These different forms of knowledge can interact and to support growth and cognitive development.

Previous research on Metacognition identifies three types of self knowledge: declarative, procedural and conditional (Flavell,1976, 1979; Brown, 1987; Jacobs and Paris, 1987; Schraw and Moshman, 1995). There are divergent opinions in the literature when it comes how to measure and define metacognitive knowledge and how it relates to cognitive monitoring and self regulation (Sperling, Howard, Staley & DuBois, 2004). Keeping in mind that knowledge can be classified by type (declarative, procedural, conditional) what it important to distinguish is that metacognition is not simply knowledge but an awareness of how knowledge can be used or applied when needed and an awareness of one’s own thinking (p. 4). This implies that knowledge can be regulated and that self awareness helps to facilitate the application of metacognitive practices.
