Originally published in 1987, Metacognition, Motivation, and Understanding brought together thinking about these three approaches to learning; attempting to integrate each field of developmental research with respect to its theoretical base and results.The book discusses the integration of metacognition, motivation, and understanding as key factors in effective learning and cognitive development. It highlights the complexity of learning processes and the need for a comprehensive understanding of individual differences in learning effectiveness. The volume was based on a symposium aimed at bridging research on these interrelated fields to enhance educational strategies. The contributors were considered to be experts in their field. The research reported here was important for the elaboration of theories of cognitive development at the time and had consequences for educational strategies and related applied problems. Today it can be read in its historical context.
