METACOGNITION AND ITS HISTORY
Vazirakhon Rustamovna Ochilova , Metacognition, memory, metacognitive skill, metacognitive knowledge, planning, monitoring, evaluating.Abstract
The very concept of metacognition has been at the center of metacognitive thinking for many years. This article discusses what metacognition is, why it is needed, and how it develops. This article provides a brief history of metacognition. The similarities and differences between the metacognitive models of these scientists, the psychologist John Flavell, who contributed to the introduction of the term “metacognition” into science, as well as the metacognition model of John Flavell and the metacognitive models of Gregory Schraw are discussed. On the other hand, metacognitive knowledge consists of many approaches that a person can use as a belief and oneself in order to learn and teach them. Metacognitive thinking can be a key part of knowledge transfer, it is believed that a person can consciously or unconsciously activate metacognitive processes, metacognitive strategies are designed to monitor cognitive processes, and i.e. their role is to control their cognitive activity. The use of metacognitive strategies activates the ability of human thinking and increases the effectiveness of learning in general. Metacognitive assessment refers to the ability to study and correct individual cognitive processes and is a process that requires revision when evaluating ideas, goals, and conclusions. Several methods for assessing the presence of metacognitive knowledge were mentioned.
