A Journey into the Metacognitive Learning Strategies

Abstract

In the last few decades, there has been growing research interest in investigating the positive relationship between metacognitive strategies, conscious learning, and achievement. However, the lack of a uniform classification indicates a need to map the different approaches, so as to discover the cornerstone strategies that result in ascending the knowledge and consequently the consciousness pyramid. The outcome of this study place executive functions, self-monitoring, and adaptation at the heart of these strategies.
