metacognition

I first heard of metacognition in college but I did not necessarily remember the name, only the practice of. I think it is vitally important that we reflect on our work over and over, consistently and constantly revising. I guess that is what I like about science it is ever changing and constantly in need of updates! It keeps me thinking and changing. I guess my biggest question still is how do we encourage the lazy learner to push themselves to do their best not just stop where they think; you want them to be?
