Metacognition

Submitted by Jill Bean on Wed, 07/22/2009 - 12:50pm.

I first encountered metacognition in my education courses in college.  We also talk about it as a staff when we work on curriculum, managment, etc...  Metacognition describes how your conscious thought can actively monitor, strategize, and revise your thinking as you think. 

I don't think that metacognition is directly related to inquiry.  I think metacognition is something valuable for teachers to be aware of, to allow space for, and to teach strategies about.  Allowing space for self-reflection (metacognition) is important for all kinds of approaches to teaching, including inquiry.
