Metacognition is the cognitive aspect of self-regulated learning; sometimes defined as 'thinking about thinking', metacognition is the awareness and understanding of thought and thinking processes. In practice both metacognition and self-regulated learning involve students engaging in a continuous cycle of planning, monitoring, evaluating and regulating their approaches to learning and problem-solving.
