Using a Metacognitive Model for Creative Work

What is it about?

In a world overwhelmed by rationality metacognition is a window on 'knowing how we know' opening up a processual awareness of the multiple ways the human being knows the world. It is less about creating knowledge as more content, rather examining the process of how we arrive at our assumptions. Importantly as 'thinking about thinking' this work focuses on the sovereignty of self as the subject of self enquiry.

Why is it important?

The importance of a critical understanding of self as metacognition cannot be under-estimated as the basis of all our knowing. Unreservedly giving authority to knowledge overlooks the importance of our embodied experiences that knowledge endeavours to make sense of in the first place . Understanding our affective ways of learning, particularly for creative work, is another part of the knowing process that being personal and particular is often bypassed. This work offers a conceptual frame work to consider personal perceptions that establish our working assumptions.
