LABATUT PORTILHO, Evelise Maria  and  COSTA BROJATO, Henrique. Metacognition and higher education: the state of Knowledge from 2016 to 2020. Linhas Críticas [online]. 2021, vol.27, e35444.  Epub Mar 26, 2021. ISSN 1981-0431.  https://doi.org/10.26512/lc.v27.2021.35444.

We aim to understand how metacognition is addressed in research on higher education in the period from 2016 to 2020. 306 abstracts of publications on the ERIC platform and 17 in the CAPES Thesis and Dissertations Catalog were categorized. The most used type of publication was an article; the country that produced the most on the subject was the United States; the year with the largest number of publications was 2019; 6 categories were identified, where "Metacognition as a support for teaching and learning" obtained the largest number of studies (38%). We believe that metacognition has great relevance in studies on higher education and the importance of state of knowledge studies with this focus.

Keywords : Metacognition; University education; State of knowledge.
