Metacognition: how to think about thinking - Ness Labs

• Declarative knowledge: the knowledge you have about your learning style and about what the factors that influence you.
• Procedural knowledge: what you know about learning in general - strategies you found or that you have already applied.
• Conditional knowledge: it refers to knowing when and why you should use declarative and procedural knowledge.

You need to master these skills:

• Planning: think about the right learning methods you will use for learning something new and the way you will manage your time and energy.
• Monitoring: be aware of your progress while learning; don't be passive and always question everything.
• Evaluating: when you finish a chunk, consider your performance and assess the strategies you used.
