John Flavell originated the term metacognition in the late 1970’s. He defined this, in its basic meaning, as “thinking about thinking”. Over the years the components and definitions have been outlined and expanded upon. Metacognition is divided into two components that include knowledge about thinking and the regulation of thoughts and, both of these components are broken down into three more areas. First we’ll review what knowledge of thinking means.

Without a certain level of understanding… nothing would ever be completed to full satisfactory. In my own life, I have learned that I cannot argue something that I don’t understand. An example being, I can’t argue a question that I got wrong on a test if there is only one logical answer. If a question is missed- it is simply showing a piece of information I should review because I didn’t fully understand it. I can’t argue something I don’t understand.
Overthinking tries to kill me sometimes, I swear. I can turn something as small as getting a paper cut into contracting some life ending disease. If there was some magical way to improve one’s thinking skills, I would definitely be in the line to that

Abortion is one of the largest controversial issues debated today. Millions of Americans have heard about the concepts of pro-life versus pro-choice.

The article, “ Identifying Thinking Skills for Instruction in Your Classroom,” written by Deborah E. Burns, addresses and explains the taxonomy of Thinking Skills by focusing on the four major thinking skill categories, including: Analytical Reasoning Skills, Critical Thinking Skills, Organizational Thinking Skills, and Creative Thinking Skills. In the article, Burns explains the purpose of the taxonomy was to identify, “thinking skills that were most frequently addressed in the professional literature and within the various thinking skills programs and materials” (Burns D.E., 1993). Burns uses the article to provide strategies and examples in order for educators to successfully implement the taxonomy and thinking skills in different classroom settings. The article provides multiple outlets to provide the stimulus needed to exercise the Thinking Skills highlighted in the article.
I have been told numerous times in the past that I over-think things. It 's because I analyze every situation in both my personal and professional life. Being an analyzer can be beneficial but can cause unnecessary amounts of stress when you over-analyze.

Peter F Drucker, an American author once said, ‘Knowledge has to be improved, challenged, and increased constantly, or it vanishes.’ Knowledge mainly consists of information, skills and opinions that are obtained through opportunities in life, encounters with individuals as well as education and life lessons imparted through education. In the modern world today, we pursue knowledge because it is useful for the pursuit of information. For many years, we, as human beings have strived to gain an advanced level of knowledge and information. A disagreement, in my opinion, is the opposite of logic; an argument that contradicts or opposes the evidence that has otherwise proven to be true.
Some topics that will be discussed in this paper will be how an individual can apply the top three critical thinking skills at work, school, and throughout everyday life. Likewise, the other items that will be clarified is the meaning of each of these critical thinking skills. The top three critical thinking skills are to analyze, synthesize, and to evaluate. These skills are a central facet of everyday life and to know how to properly use them will help in the long run. Each of these skills build off each other and it would be good to know what these skills mean in their entirety.
The last i use controlled thinking was when i had to do research on my subject, social gerontology. First, I had to think of a few questions for my survey questioners to be given to old people for my interview with them. I had to Google and I also looked up a few websites before i can make and include the question in my questioners. Next, I had to review a journal for my social gerontology class so i used controlled thinking to do it. Does thinking about yourself make you happy or put you in a bad mood?
