Beyond Knowledge: Development of Metacognitive Methods

Abstract

The article considers the development of metacognitive abilities, which play a key role in the process of learning and self-development. Metacognitive abilities include the ability to recognize, control and regulate one's own thinking, which contributes to more effective problem solving and goal achievement. Particular attention is paid to the theoretical aspects of the concept of metacognition, as well as practical approaches to their development in the educational and professional environment. Methods for diagnosing and training metacognitive skills are given, and factors influencing their formation are analyzed. The results of the study emphasize the importance of targeted development of metacognitive abilities to improve cognitive flexibility, independence and critical thinking.
