Concepts that describe how learners think about and guide their own learning, including self-regulated learning, metacognition, meta-learning and epistemic cognition. A concept belongs here when the cited article defines it through awareness or control of one's own thinking, learning or knowledge. It excludes critical thinking and reflective approaches, which sit in their own group. Teachers use these ideas when they ask students to plan, monitor and check their own work, and to reflect on how they came to know what they know.
