Introduction
The word meta refers to being beyond when it comes to metacognition; the term refers to a type of self-awareness associated with understanding one's thought processes. For example, self-awareness automatically leads to self-assessment and ultimately an opportunity for individuals to learn and pinpoint their strengths and weaknesses in various situations. Such information enables them to make informed decisions while preparing for the consequences and the possible achievement of the task. An instance is a person planning to learn a new language. Planning how and when to approach the task with specific skills or strategies is called metacognition. "Metacognition refers to a higher order thinking that involves active control over the cognitive processes" (Livingston, 2003)

The essay will discuss access to mentors, self-explanation, and thinking aloud.

It describes their personality and specific traits. There is also the social being, which is open to the public. They conduct themselves just as expected by society and keep their opinions to themselves. This has been a description of a person's inner and outer self or the darkness and lightness for a long time. These stereotypical explanations have described what is truly wrong with the human self, animosity on an intimate level.
