Metacognition: This is a term that describes the extent to which a person understands or is aware of their own thought processes. The concept entails the process of monitoring the cognitive performance of an individual. Metacognition is applied in learning since it helps in the self-regulation of cognitive processes such as studying and sharing information. Cognitive learning is a regulated process, and this implies that the self-regulation of cognitive performance, which is the function of metacognition, is essential in social learning. Depending on how metacognition is managed, it can result in improved learning outcomes or failure.
