As David Perkins and J.H. Flavell described, metacognitive skills are essential for self-regulated learning and critical thinking. Perkins emphasized the importance of "thinking about thinking" in promoting deeper understanding and the ability to transfer knowledge across contexts. Flavell's model highlights how metacognition allows individuals to monitor, evaluate, and adjust their cognitive processes, enhancing problem-solving and decision-making. By fostering self-awareness and reflection, metacognitive skills empower individuals to navigate complex situations, improve emotional regulation, and develop lifelong learning habits critical for personal and professional growth.
