For this, metacognition was examined by the inspection form that the Educational Psychology Programs of the Department of Education, at Seoul National University, developed in 2005. The information-seeking behaviors were examined by the observance of the established information-seeking performances and through a survey.

As metacognition is the cognitive characteristics acting after the cognitive process, it affected thinking activities that were conducted by the brain.
