- 5. Metacognitive strategies Metacognitive strategies are mental activities that we execute for processing the information for the purpose of giving an understandable meaning for us. these strategies also help us analyze the processes we use to know, learn and solve problems, i.e. having knowledge about the cognitive processes themselves controlling and regulating the use of these processes
- 6. Metacognitive strategies Planning: designing processes that going to take to reach my goals, i.e. determines the direction of learning. Self-regulation: I regulate my own processes and verify errors. Self-evaluation: evaluate the steps that I follow to know if I fulfill or not. Reorganization: feedback of some things (constructive critique) correct errors. Advance: advance, get ahead of new learning.
- 7. Metacognitive strategies are cognitive tools that require our previous knowledge and the appropriate resources for to build, understand and generalize them to so promote a significant learning.
