Metacognition in Academic Writing: Learning Dimensions
Book chapter, 2022
The chapter addresses the investigation of metacognition in academic writing, and its role for learning. Metacognition refers to the unique human ability to reflect on one’s own knowledge and thinking. This ability is crucial for learning and agency: metacognition allows us to assess what we know and do not know (including relevant previous experiences), set realistic goals, plan, monitor, and evaluate our performance.
