Elementary Teachers' Perspective on Metacognition

Flavell (2002) is cited most often when discussing metacognition as he is a pioneer in the field and has encouraged other researchers to expand upon his foundational conceptualization of metacognition. Flavell’s work is used consistently to form conceptual frameworks in previous studies examining metacognition. His most recent work includes revisions from fellow researchers exploring metacognition as the conceptualizations of the three main metacognitive concepts (metacognitive knowledge metacognitive regulation and metacognitive experiences) continue to grow (Flavell Miller & Miller 2002; Zohar & Barzilai 2013).
