Childhood (5-11years)

Cognitive development

Cognitive development is the development of the ability to reason and think. Children who are aged between 5 and 11 years develop the ability to think in concrete ways such as addition, subtraction, order (sorting and alphabets), transforming and so on. These processes are termed as being concrete since they are performed in presence of events and objects being thought about. Cognitive abilities allow children to process the sensory information which they collect.

Metacognition can take various forms such as having knowledge of when and how to use specific strategies for solving problems or learning. It refers to a thinking level which involves having active control over the thinking process used in learning situations.
It is divided into three components, namely; metacognitive knowledge, metacognitive regulation and metacognitive experiences. This skill is integral to children's future cognitive development as it involves different types of metacognitive awareness which include declarative knowledge which is the knowledge of an individual as a learner and factors that might have an effect on their performance. Secondly it involves procedural knowledge which is the knowledge of doing things and finally conditional knowledge that involves knowing when and why one should use declarative as well as procedural knowledge. Therefore we can say that metacognition allows students to plan, monitor and evaluate anything they do hence lead to success in school and in life (LearningRx Franchise Corp, 2014).
