摘要：Learning depends on the effective use of cognitive process such as memory and attention, the activation of relevant background knowledge and the deployment of cognitive strategies to achieve particular goals. Learners also need to have awareness and control of their cognition and this is called Metacognition. The label Metacognition was given by American psychologist John Flavell (1976). Metacognition refers to higher order thinking which involves active control over the cognitive processes engaged in learning. Activities such as planning how to approach a given learning task, monitoring comprehension, and evaluating progress toward the completion of a task are metacognitive in nature. Since adults are largely self determining, therefore they can develop metacognitive skills which are an essential element in any program intended to increase their autonomy. With this reference researcher analyse metacognitive awareness skills among B.Ed. Student teachers.
