Metacognition, Metacognitive domains, Metacognitive experienceAbstract
Studies in metacognition have advanced in recent decades, however, there is still not a broad theoretical body capable of encompassing all the specificities and possible relationships to be established. This finding led us to make a brief history of the introduction of the term "metacognition", presenting a possibility to define its use linked to didactic interventions in the educational field. For this, text discusses the origin of the term; points to a possible institution of components for its conceptualization based on consensual understandings; elaborates a map that represents the metacognitive domains and that assumes the metacognitive reflection as the expression that links the metacognitive components.
