2. Reflection

3. Critical Thinking

4. Holistic View

5. Defining and Solving Problems

6. Mental Scripting
7. Active Involvement

8. Behaviour Change

Following these first steps towards the development of the framework, partners
collaboratively carried out a mapping of the meta competencies against GreenComp
competences by

1. adapting the descriptors to complete the MET-VET competence framework

2. providing hypothetical policy recommendations related to each competence

3. including practical examples for learners to complement the basic descriptions of each
competence and provide some context and real world understanding of how a
competence could be implemented

As there are hundreds of definitions of metacognition aimed at users (academic, pedagogical,
theoretical, etc.) and intended for different purposes the next step was, for the purpose of
the project and considering the target groups and MET-VET end users, to explain in layman
terms what metacognition is and the different levels of metacognition which can be achieved.

Firstly, a set of questionnaires for the stakeholder consultation meetings and template for the
desk research was developed, tweaked, and amended accordingly so that partners were able
to begin gathering information in the state of the art on current metacognitive skills, advice,
guidance, and policy at national level in each represented country. While the consortium

undertook desk research, the initial draft of the framework was developed. After summarising
and analysing the results of the desk research and taking into consideration the feedback
received from the stakeholder consultation meetings, the second iteration of the framework
was developed for comments and feedback by the consortium. After comments and input
have been incorporated, the finalised version of the framework was translated and piloted
with wider stakeholder groups and end users.

The Competence Framework
The framework is presented below and has been structured to ensure clarity and to take into
consideration the requirements of the intended users.

1. Competence: the name of the metacognitive competence.

2. Metacognitive Competence Descriptor: descriptor explaining what the competence
means - these descriptors provide detail to be useful for users to understand the
nuances of each competence and how it relates to their context.
