Metacognition: Process, Function and Use / Edition 1

by Patrick Chambres, Marie Izaute, Pierre-Jean Marescaux

Overview

The object of this volume is to promote the interaction, and indeed construct a synergistic reciprocity between the functional perspective on metacognition and the analytical perspective. The authors examine the role of metacognition in activities as varied as classroom learning, piloting airplanes, and eyewitness testimony. The ideas and questions developed in the book will give a dynamic impulse to research in the field.
