Rogers' Three Parts of Self-Concept
Humanist psychologist Carl Rogers believed that your self-concept was made
up of three different parts:
• Ideal self: The person you want to be
• Self-image: How you see yourself, including attributes like your physical
characteristics, personality traits, and social roles
• Self-esteem: How much you like, accept, or value yourself, which can be
impacted by a number of factors including how others see you, how you
think you compare to others, and your role in society
Metacognition
• refers to “thinking about thinking” and was introduced as a concept in by
John Flavell, who is typically seen as a founding scholar of the field. Flavell
said that metacognition is the knowledge you have of your own cognitive
processes (your thinking).Flavell (1979).
• It is your ability to control your thinking processes through various strategies,
such as organizing, monitoring, and adapting. Additionally, it is your ability to
reflect upon the tasks or processes you undertake and to select and utilize the
appropriate strategies necessary in your intercultural interactions.
Metacognition

• Metacognitive Knowledge
• Metacognitive Experience
• Metacognitive Strategies
Metacognitive knowledge
involves
(a) learning processes and your beliefs about how you learn and how you think
others learn,
(b) the task of learning and how you process information, and
(c) the strategies you develop and when you will use them.
Metacognitive Experience
• Arnold Bennett, a British writer, said that one cannot have knowledge
without having emotions.Bennett (1933). In metacognition, there are feelings
and emotions present that are related to the goals and tasks of learning.
These components of metacognition speaks to metacognitive experience,
which is your internal response to learning. Your feelings and emotions serve
as a feedback system to help you understand your progress and expectations,
and your comprehension and connection of new information to the old,
among other things.
Metacognitive Strategies
• Metacognitive strategies are what you design to monitor your progress
related to your learning and the tasks at hand. It is a mechanism for
controlling your thinking activities and to ensure you are meeting your goals.
Metacognitive knowledge example
• Let us say you have to learn a new language in 6 months. Here is how you
would think about it, using metacognitive knowledge:
• Learning Process: I am good at learning new languages and I think I can do this
in the time period I have been given.
Metacognitive knowledge example
• Task of Learning: To complete this task, I will need to think about the following:
• How soon can I get information to start learning the language?
• How long will it take me to learn the language?
• What information is available to me to learn this new language?
• Is this language similar to a language I have learned before?
• Will I be able to learn the language in time?
• How hard will it be for me to learn this language?
• What do I need to do to learn the language?
Metacognitive knowledge example
• The Strategies: I think learning this new language is going to take me 12 months, but I
only have 6 months to prepare. I better find other ways to me meet this goal. I think I
will find out if there is an accelerated language class that I can take. Maybe I should
consider hiring a private tutor, or maybe I will just focus on learning the basics of the
language.
Metacognitive Experience example
• When you learn a new language, for example, you may recall memories, information,
and earlier experiences in your life to help you solve the task of learning a new
language. In doing this, your internal responses (metacognitive experience) could be
frustration, disappointment, happiness, or satisfaction. Each of these internal responses
can affect the task of learning a new language and determine your willingness to
continue. Critical to metacognition is the ability to deliberately foster a positive attitude
and positive feelings toward your learning.
Metacognitive strategies example
Metacognitive strategies for learning a new language can include the following:
• monitoring whether you understand the language lessons;
• recognizing when you fail to comprehend information communicated to you in the new
language;
• identifying strategies that help you to improve your comprehension;
• adjusting your pace for learning the information (for example, studying for 2 hours, rather than 1
hour, every day);
• maintaining the attitude necessary to ensure you complete the lessons in a timely manner;
• creating a check-in system at the end of each week to make certain you understand what you have
learned.
