Metacognition in Science Education by Anat Zohar
Why is metacognition gaining recognition, both in education generally and in science learning in particular? Metacognition in Science Education discusses emerging topics at the intersection of metacognition with the teaching and learning of science concepts, and with higher order thinking more generally.-

From the reviews:
“The book provides a comprehensive and detailed background on metacognition, and a clear perspective of recent research studies that testify to the value of metacognition for science learning… is highly recommended for a wide readership as it provides a valuable resource for college or university teaching of metacognition … . It clearly highlights the implications of metacognition research for science learning and teaching and provides meaningful insights for classroom practitioners. … discussion of recent studies is informative and should prompt ideas for further studies.” (Umesh Ramnarain, International Journal of Environmental & Science Education, Vol. 7 (2), April, 2012)
“This book aims to promote the teaching of metacognitive skills by providing both a useful theoretical introduction about metacognition and its role in science education, as well as several chapters of case studies from across the science disciplines. … book has several useful case studies of a similar nature, along with data on their effectiveness in teaching. These, along with the extensive literature review chapters, will make it useful to both educational researchers and educators interested in embedding the teaching of metacognition in their practice.” (Michael Seery, Education in Chemistry, January, 2013)
