Does anyone know what Metacognizant means?

Answer 1

The term "metacognition" has become important in recent years in education and teaching. We all engage in metacognition everyday when we plan how to approach a task, when we think about how well we understand a task, when we evaluate how well we did. "Metacognition" is often simply defined as "thinking about thinking." It involves understanding our own learning and thinking processes. In actuality, though, defining metacognition is not that simple. It is a rather complex process that enables us to be successful learners and it has been associated with intelligence.

philosophy term- metacognition: the act of thinking about thinking

Metacognition refers to thinking about cognition (memory, perception, calculation, association, etc.) itself. Metacognition can be divided into two types of knowledge: explicit, conscious, factual knowledge; and implicit, unconscious, procedural knowledge. The ability to think about thinking is unique to sapient species and indeed is one of the definitions of sapience.
Metacognition is practiced to attempt to regulate one's own cognition, and maximize one's potential to think, learn and process stimuli from the surroundings.
