Metacognition, or having an awareness of one's thought processes, is an integral part of learning. Fostering metacognitive abilities enhances self-awareness and the ability of learners to engage with complexity. Metacognition underscores all aspects of leadership learning, including knowledge, development, training, observation, and engagement. Educators develop metacognitive abilities through explicitly teaching metacognitive skills, scaffolding learning, and engaging critical perspectives. As leadership educators develop metacognitive abilities and incorporate learning about metacognition in curricular and co-curricular settings, the field of leadership education amplifies opportunities for learners to facilitate positive and sustainable change.
元认知，即对自身思维过程的意识，是学习的一个组成部分。培养元认知能力可以增强学习者的自我意识和应对复杂性的能力。元认知贯穿领导力学习的各个方面，包括知识、发展、培训、观察和参与。教育者通过明确教授元认知技能、提供学习支架和参与批判性视角来培养元认知能力。随着领导力教育者培养元认知能力并将元认知学习纳入课程和课外活动中，领导力教育领域为学习者提供了更多机会，以促进积极和可持续的变革。
