In modern times, children face various difficulties in their lives. Some children whatever problem they may face cope up with the situation while some give up under stress. Those who control their thought process work in an organized manner. Metacognition is the ability of controlling one's thought. Their metacognitive thinking guides them to introspect upon their study strategies and keep themselves focused upon their goal. It encourages them to be deeply aware of their own learning process which is reflected in their scholastic performance. Today it is essential for students to be aware of their strengths and weakness to better their performance. It becomes essential to think about one's own thinking and act accordingly. Students can take charge of their learning by chalking out strategies, managing time and effort towards an excellent scholastic performance. A well-planned input with thoughtful processing will always result in a productive output. The objective of the study is to know the background of the origin of the study of Metacognition, it's components and the strategies involved in Metacognition. The study also focuses on the classroom implications of Metacognition.
