Meta-cognition is defined as knowing about knowing. The root of meta-cognition is knowing information. By knowing information one is able to learn and understand future situations. By applying meta-cognition people are able to process situations and apply knowledge in-order to make the best decision for themselves. Meta-cognition is a device that humans use to make a decision that allows themself to succeed in whatever situation presents itself.

Meta-cognition is important in the world of education for many reasons. The first reasons it is so important revolves around individuals. It is well known that every student is different and this is important in the world of meta-cognition. Being different isn't important it is recognizing that students are all different and being able to accommodate for it is important. This stems right along with students and their acceptance that they all function differently in education. Students understanding of meta-cognition is important because once they learn how to learn their chances of success are much higher. Between teachers and students meta-cognition is a very complex world that will always ignite differences. It isn't the differences that need to be addressed it is learning from the differences and making changes so each student and teacher can learn about learning.
