Metacognition in school: the importance of teach to thinking

Abstract

The objective of teaching the abilities of the thought one would not have to consider as
something opposed to teach the conventional content but as a complement of this. People
frequently reason from an inferior to the good one; therefore, they are important to develop methods that allow to improve the thought abilities. The authentic protagonism of
the school has to go to help to think the person and to teach to learn. The teacher has to
teach learning strategies and it should promote the student’s effort to propitiate the construction of outlines and to facilitate the permanent learning. Finally, one of the current and future high-priority areas in investigation is that of the interventions in strategies metacognitives, their impact in the development cognitive of the students and the transfer and the duration of their effects in the learning.
