Metacognition in problem
solving is addressed from a cognitive-resources perspective. Students´
metacognitive abilities are analysed in terms of what they are able to do
rather than in terms of the characteristics they lack. Problem Solving process,
in turn, is analysed in terms of the epistemic games students play. The study
consists of the analysis of three students
solving a mechanics problem. As in previous work, metacognition is seen to
occur during states of confusion. The analysis presented in this work shows one
way in which metacognitive activity helps students overcome confusion by
altering one of the moves in the epistemic game they play.
