Defines metacognition: thinking about thinking. The three basic metacognitive strategies, defined by Dirkes (1985) are: 1. Connecting new information to former knowledge. 2. Selecting thinking strategies deliberately. 3. Planning, monitoring, and evaluating thinking processes. Provides six strategies for developing metacognitive behaviors: 1. Identifying "what you know" and "what you don't know." 2. Talking about thinking (paired problem-solving and reciprical taching are some of strategies to help students to talk about their thinking). 3. Keeping a thinking journal. 4. Planning and self-regulation. 5. Debriefing the thinking process (teacher's guidance and discussion are very important). and 6. Self-Evaluation. Call for establishing a metacognitive environment that fosters the development of successful problem-solvers and lifelong learners.
