Bibliographical note

NEW
Originality: In this article, I suggest a re-framing of the concept of 'metacognition' away from the 'skills vs knowledge' distinction that has led to conceptual confusion (evidenced by the proliferation of terms now linked to metacognition).
Significance: The concept of 'metacognition' is relevant to many spheres of education, not just within the teaching and learning of mathematics. The re-framing offered in this article is consistent with more recent and embodied approaches to cognition.
Rigour: This article has appeared recently in 'For the Learning of Mathematics', a highly rated journal.
