Philosophy Of Metacognitive Thinking and Effective Learning

Abstract

Cognitive learning theories seek to reduce the role of memorization and repetition and highlight the role of understanding using cognitive strategies. Cognitive learning views the human being as an active and effective person seeking knowledge and learning, and therefore he is positive and seeks to develop his information. And thinking is about it is about a series of mental activities that the brain performs when it is exposed to a stimulus that is received by it One or more of the five senses, which is an abstract concept that involves invisible and intangible activities, and what we observe or touch are in fact the products of the act of thinking, whether in written, spoken, kinetic, or visual form. The individual's cognitive structure and characteristics affect the strategies he uses. Studies have found that differences in students’ achievement are mainly due to their characteristics and the strategies they use. The current study deals with identifying the philosophy of metacognitive thinking skills and effective learning through the following axes: The first axis deals with metacognitive thinking skills and their strategies in terms of the concept, its forms, components, and strategies. Which helps to develop metacognitive thinking skills and its importance for the individual. The second axis dealt with effective learning and its relationship to metacognitive thinking skills in terms of the concept and objectives, which is to help the learner acquire information attitudes and skills, while developing strategies that enable him to solve problems inside and outside the classroom.
