Book synopsis

Two perspectives have structured research within the rapidly developing field of metacognition. The first, functional perspective examines how and when people use their knowledge about their own thinking to guide their actions. The second, analytical perspective is mainly concerned with the state of metacognitive knowledge. This approach is identified with cognitive psychological research on feelings of knowing and judgments about knowledge states and abilities.The object of the current volume is to promote the interaction, and indeed construct a synergistic reciprocity between the two sub-fields. The authors examine the role of metacognition in activities as varied as classroom learning, piloting airplanes, and eyewitness testimony. The ideas and questions developed in the book will give a dynamic impulse to research in the field.
