What is metacognition? To put it simply, it’s thinking about thinking.
So metacognition is identifying how you learn best, any gaps in your knowledge and how to effectively overcome any challenges.
Metacognition is about using any strengths or prior knowledge you have and applying it to a task at hand in order to achieve maximum results.
In addition, metacognition is about reflecting on and evaluating your results and adapting your approach if you need to.
Metacognition involves digging deep and switching off that negative inner voice that can be critical when you get things wrong.
Instead, reframe your approach and start to evaluate how you can get back on track.
Play to your strengths and make links between your current tasks and previous successes.
Give it a go and see where it takes you.
