The Metacognitive Experience

The Metacognitive Experience refers to our awareness and understanding of our own thinking processes, especially when it comes to our knowledge. It involves reflecting on what we know, how we learn, and recognizing the limits of our understanding. For instance, when considering a question, we gauge our confidence in what we know and identify gaps in our knowledge. This self-reflection helps us make better decisions about learning strategies, enhances problem-solving skills, and improves our overall ability to acquire and apply knowledge effectively. Essentially, it’s thinking about our thinking as we engage with what we’ve learned.
