Advantages and Disadvantages





                                                                             








Advantages:
  • "Metacognition enhances and enriches the learning experience"(St. Clair, n.d.)
  • "Applying metacognitive strategies such as self-awareness and self monitoring is to develop independent learners who can control their own learning and learn how to learn for life"(Papaleontiou-Louca, 2008).
  • Metacognition provides self-monitoring, which is a step-by-step process of evaluation during the learning process.
  •  Metacognition develops higher learning and problem solving skills



Disadvantages of poor metacognition:
  • Poor self-esteem
  • Difficulty in problem solving
  • Poor reading comprehension
  • Poor language and communication skills
  • Difficulty in obtaining success in society
