Another way of thinking about metacomprehension is as?
The correct answer is D. Thinking about thinking
- “Meta” means beyond, it means thinking beyond thinking. Metacomprehension helps us to understand the way we think. In an academic context, it is when a learner knows about what they have learned; one tool that is commonly used so that students evaluate their own learning is the rubric, a student is given a piece of paper with a certain criteria to think about how he has learned a topic. Metacomprehension is crucial when we want to improve in a topic we are learning, if we are learning for example conditionals in English, and we see that it is not achieved the level we expected, it is necessary to identify the parts of the conditionals that we do not understand. Perhaps the students understands the concept of conditionals, but does not understand when to use the past participle verb, this student must think about his learning process to identify this problem.
