Metacognition is thinking about thinking. Metacognition teaches us to utilize critical thinking skills. It helps activates and apply prior knowledge and learn deeper, flexible knowledge and skills. It also helps with problem solving effort. The two strategies of metacognition is metacognition conversation. metacognition conversation is conciously aware of mental activities and be able to be describe. Another strategy is think aloud. Think aloud is to make sense of text.
From the experience of the talk out talk strategies, I learned that it was harder to talk out loud than just just thinking but it also helps me think clearer. The difficulties I gain was that somethings I didn't say things I was thinking because I forgot. This helps me as a student to remember what I think more.
The first paragraph shows some knowledge of metacognition. I am curious why you thought the 'Think Aloud' was more difficult than just thinking, and what exactly became more clear during the process.
