Listening to you are not so smart podcast and thinking about metacognition
Might be worth looking up this guy's research about metacognition (see Sussex study reveals how ‘blind insight’ confounds logic)
Seems like metacognition would be a good conversation to have with students as they consider knowledge
Metacognition is your knowledge about the knowledge you hold
So if you asked somebody the capital of United States and you feel fairly certain that it is correct then your metacognition is your certainty
If you asked somebody the capital of the state of Wyoming may feel like they do not know what it is that lack of uncertainty or the uncertainty is there metacognition
The question for students is what is the level of that Certainteed or uncertainty about the knowledge they have on any topic
The idea of metacognition starts to touch on the feelings and emotions related to knowing
This relates to the idea of predictive judgments
