Main Article Content

Abstract

This article aims to present the results of the conceptual synthesis and application of metacognition in the Thai language learning management. Metacognition is the ability to manipulate cognition and learning mechanisms that is effectively implemented in two dimensions. The first
dimension is the learner's cognitive abilities that include self-awareness, motivation and emotional control in the active learning process that allows students have to strong critical thinking ability and creative communication skills. The second dimension is the teacher's teaching strategies that support learners to own knowledge, experiences and strategies leading learners to deep learning, encourage independent learning and continuous self-directed learning as well as expanding the role of various learning assessments, especially the assessment as learning. Using metacognition in learning management can assist Thai language teachers in creating changes at the classroom
level by developing a growth mindset and practice based on explicit knowledge of what metacognition is, why it should be used, and how to use it.
