Metacognitive strategies refer to the techniques and approaches that help students become aware of their own thinking processes and regulate their learning. This teaching strategy focuses on developing students' metacognition, which involves understanding how they learn, monitoring their own learning progress, and making adjustments to improve their learning outcomes. Metacognitive strategies encourage students to reflect on their thinking, set goals, plan their approach to tasks, monitor their comprehension, and evaluate their learning strategies. By teaching students to be aware of their thinking and learning processes, metacognitive strategies empower them to become more independent and effective learners. Students who employ metacognitive strategies are better equipped to identify areas of difficulty, apply appropriate learning strategies, and adapt their approaches to achieve academic success.
