"Metacognition refers to one’s knowledge concerning one’s own cognitive processes or anything related to them, e.g., the learning-relevant properties of information or data. For example, I am engaging in metacognition if I notice that I am having more trouble learning A than B; if it strikes me that I should double check C before accepting it as fact."
In plainer words, metacognition is knowing about how you learn, having reliable learning strategies and skills, and knowing when to use each for maximum performance.
For one to be a lifelong learner, he or she must be a knowledgeable and expert learner, and he or she must be motivated to learn i.e. curious.
How do I learn best, most effectively?
What are my learning tools?
Am I curious and motivated to learn?
Does my environment support my individual learning style and needs as well as my curiosity?
What is in the way of my learning?
What do I need to learn? Why?
