Metacognition is practiced to attempt to regulate one's own cognition, and maximize one's potential to think, Learn and process stimuli from the surroundings. METACOGNITIVE STRATEGIES The metacognitive-like processes are ubiquitous; especially, when it comes to the discussion of Self-regulated Learning . Being engaged in metacognition is a salient feature of good self-regulated learners. The activities of strategy selection and application include those concerned with an ongoing attempt to plan, check, monitor, select, revise, evaluate, etc. Metacognition is 'stable' in that learners' initial decisions derive from the pertinent fact about their cognition through years of learning experience. Simultaneously, it is also 'situated' in the sense that it depends on learners' familiarity with the task, motivation, emotion, and so forth. Individuals need to regulate their thoughts about the strategy they are using and adjust it based on the situation the strategy is applied to. REFERENCES
