Metacognition as the Key to Success
In "Learning with Purpose: Metacognition as the Key to Success" (2025), Isamar Mayora, the distinguished language professor, master's degree holder in educational neuroscientism, and Venezuelan linguist, offers us, through IEMV Editions, a remarkable key to identifying one's own cognitive processes. As part of the Training the Mind for Learning series, its work explores the nature of thought from a perspective that integrates education, neuroscience, psychology, and research. This book is essential for understanding her revolutionary approach to cognition, taking the reader on a fascinating journey into the world of ideas.
Mayora approaches the phenomenon of metacognition not as a set of psychological mechanisms, but as an intrinsic property of the autonomous systems present in the learning process. The author aims to identify the profound connection between learning, knowledge, and personal success, challenging traditional conceptions of metacognitive strategies.
This work is indispensable for those seeking a more friendly, enlightening, and simple understanding of how people can achieve meaningful learning that can be applied to all areas of their daily lives. It is a guide to success for all those interested in excellence and personal improvement.
