Metacognition is regarded as an important
construct in helping educators develop better teaching and learning strategies,
contexts, and materials. The development
and use of good teaching and learning strategies and materials emanating from metacognition
require profound understanding of how it promotes the efficiency of the
cognitive system in learning. A proposed system called cognitive-metacognitive
system illustrates how the metacognitive system promotes the efficiency of the
cognitive system. The cognitive-metacognitive system enters into a
six-step sequence of mental activities to process cognitive inputs; and yields cognitive
outputs. It is well-established that metacognition promotes learning via
identifying and deploying appropriate and effective cognitive processing strategies
and tools; and identifying and deploying metacognitive strategies to regulate
cognitive processing. Hence, the effectiveness of the
cognitive-metacognitive system in promoting learning depends on its ability in
helping learners generate manageable meta-level models of cognitive inputs for
cognitive processing.
