Conclusion

There are three basic patterns of metacognitive knowledge in physics that can be used as guidelines in the development of metacognitive questions namely triangular, rectangular, and hexagonal patterns. Each pattern has its own characteristics in measuring the ability of the thinking process. The more complex knowledge patterns used in designing problems the more higher order thinking skills that can be measured.
