Handbook of Research on Serious Games for Educational Applications, Zheng R., Gardner M.K., 2017.

   The Advances in Game-Based Learning (AGBL) Book Series aims to cover all aspects of serious games applied to any area of education. The definition and concept of education has begun to morph significantly in the past decades and game-based learning has become a popular way to encourage more active learning in a creative and alternative manner for students in K-12 classrooms, higher education, and adult education. AGBL presents titles that address many applications, theories, and principles surrounding this growing area of educational theory and practice.




WHAT IS METACOGNTION?
An important starting point is to define metacognition. Metacognition is “knowledge of one’s knowledge, processes, and cognitive and affective states; and the ability to consciously and deliberately monitor and regulate one’s knowledge, processes, and cognitive and affective states” (Hacker, 1998, p. 3). This definition identifies both declarative and procedural components of metacognition. Metacognitive declarative knowledge consists of a person’s knowledge or beliefs about: (a) one’s cognitive and affective states and the states of others; (b) a task, its demands, and how those demands can be met under varying conditions; and (c) strategies for accomplishing the task and how and when to use them (Flavell, 1979).

Metacognitive procedural knowledge consists of both monitoring and control components. Metacognitive monitoring refers to processes that are “directed at the acquisition of information about the person’s thinking processes” (Kluwe, 1982, p. 212). These processes involve a person’s ability (a) to identify the task on which one is currently working, (b) to check on current progress of that work, (c) to evaluate that progress, and (d) to predict whether the expected outcome will be attained (Flavell, 1979). Metacognitive control refers to processes that are “directed at the regulation of the course of one’s own thinking” (Kluwe, 1982, p. 212). These processes involve a person’s ability (a) to allocate his or her resources to the current task, (b) to determine and direct the steps to complete the task, (c) to set the intensity or (d) the speed of the work task (Flavell, 1979). Both declarative and procedural components of metacognition are necessary for students to become “self-regulatory organisms who are capable of assessing themselves and others and directing their behavior toward specified goals” (Hacker. 1998, p. 10), that is, to become agents of their own thinking.
