Metacognition is not simply thinking about thinking. That would be called meta-thought. Cognition is vastly more complex than thinking. It is an umbrella term that covers both the automatic and the conscious activation of knowledge,attention, memory, comprehension, production of language (and its evaluation), reasoning, computation and problem solving. Renowned and occasionally controversial educator, Phil Beadle,guides you through an academic and practical understanding of metacognition, unravelling its complexities to inform your everyday teaching.
