Metacognition and Time to Eat

METACOGNITION – my new favorite word!

I love all three of its components as described by my trusty Wikipedia:

1. Metacognitive knowledge (also called metacognitive awareness) is what individuals know about themselves and others as cognitive processors.

2. Metacognitive regulation is the regulation of cognition and learning experiences through a set of activities that help people control their learning.

3. Metacognitive experiences are those experiences that have something to do with the current, on-going cognitive endeavor.

Every time I find myself trying to understand children and their full potential- I am amazed by what I see.
