Cognition also symptoms of introduction is known, is " the act or process of knowing that both awareness and judgment ", while the ability of metacognition include aspects of cognition. (Kuntodjojo 09: 1)

the concept of metacognition was first introduced by John Flavell in 1976 (Malone, 07: 7). Flavell defined metacognition as knowledge of the objects of knowledge, namely about everything connected to knowledge. Among psychologists raised the debate on the definition of metacognition. This showed that metacognition is not always applied equally in the different areas of psychological research, and not only in the field of psychology. However, the concept of metacognition of researchers in psychology emphasizes proposed consciousness, thinking about his thought process.

"Metacognitive lead to an understanding of knowledge, an understanding of the effective use or description clear knowledge of the issue to be considered. That is, metacognitive principle on the understanding of their knowledge related.

obtained Understanding on the basis of reflection that is done by him with regard to the use of an effective strategy or a clear description of the strategies used in response to a question or a problem. Moreover Quirk (06: 4) ". the ability to think about thinking and feeling and predict what others think " revealed that metacognitive is Metacognition is the ability to think about their own thoughts and feelings and predict what other people think.

with previous opinions In line Ozsoy & Ataman (09: 68) states that " metacognition means an awareness of the individual to his own thought process and ability checks to control this process . " metacognition means a person's consciousness about his thought process and the ability to control the process. Additionally Schraw & Dennison (1994: 460) states that " metacognition to reflect on the ability Refers, understand and control one learns ." Metacognition leads to the ability to reflect, to understand and control the learning someone. the study Controlling is can have in a person to follow control what they do in their learning activities
