This scholarly book explores the latest education research on metacognition and self-directed learning, providing practical insights for educators and students. As the thirteenth volume in the NWU Self-Directed Learning Series, it focuses on developing metacognitive skills to enhance self-regulation, motivation, and independent thinking – key competencies for success in the 21st century. Metacognition plays a vital role in learning, helping students plan, evaluate, and self-assess their progress. Research shows that students with strong metacognitive strategies achieve better learning outcomes, apply knowledge effectively, and persist through academic challenges. This book offers evidence-based teaching strategies to support the development of self-regulated learning and motivation in diverse educational settings. It examines teaching behaviour and instructional methods that foster metacognitive growth in both basic and higher education. With a particular focus on the South African education landscape, it extends research in cognitive, developmental, and applied psychology. Researchers and educators will find practical approaches for integrating metacognition into various disciplines, making this book a valuable resource for both undergraduate and graduate education programmes.
