Research in the area of metacognition is on the rise. Translating and applying the fruits of basic scientific results to various end-users and real-world scenarios is an increasingly important challenge for science. The field of metacognition has been a key component for the model of self-regulated learning. It has provided an important platform for translating this branch of research to educators, policymakers and learners. Nevertheless, theories and measurement models used in metacognitive research largely overlap with other fields, such as decision-making. This issue, titled ‘Applied Metacognition: Real-word applications beyond learning’, aims to inform and inspire the metacognitive research community to (occasionally) look beyond the role of metacognitive factors in self-regulated learning, to the multitude of other applied areas that can benefit end-users and real-world situations. Focusing on on-task confidence judgments, self-monitoring and evaluation, this issue includes seven empirical papers applying metacognitive models to the gamification of metacognitive assessment, decision-making and problem-solving, with implications for cybersecurity, eyewitness testimony, education and business.

特刊“应用元认知：学习以外的现实应用”简介

元认知领域的研究正在上升。将基础科学成果的成果转化并应用到各种最终用户和现实世界中，对科学来说是一个越来越重要的挑战。元认知领域一直是自我调节学习模型的关键组成部分。它提供了一个重要的平台，可以将这一研究领域转化为教育者，决策者和学习者。尽管如此，元认知研究中使用的理论和测量模型在很大程度上与其他领域（例如决策）重叠。本期标题为“应用元认知：学习之外的实词应用”，旨在告知和启发元认知研究界（有时）超越元认知因素在自我调节学习中的作用，可以使最终用户和现实世界受益的众多其他应用领域。本期侧重于任务上的信心判断，自我监控和评估，包括七篇经验论文，将元认知模型应用于元认知评估，决策和问题解决的游戏化，对网络安全，目击者证词，教育和业务产生影响。
