THE BIG PICTURE
Metacognition means thinking about your thinking. Focusing on a single learning task and knowing what your learning goals are as you study are traits of a metacognitive student. Metacognitive students manipulate their environment to optimize learning and gauge their progress toward their goals. Don't just go through the motions of learning. When you are in the process of learning something, be acutely aware of whether you are accomplishing your learning goals. If not, make necessary adjustments. Being a self-aware, metacognitive student goes a long way toward college readiness.
