Metacognitive skills in students at all educational levels are important for understanding autonomy in learning. The objective of this research is to summarize the most recent advances in metacognitive skills in students at different academic levels, considering the pedagogical strategies teachers use to foster their development, the contextual factors that enable their growth, and the difficulties students encounter in acquiring these skills. A systematic review methodology based on the PRISMA framework was applied, analyzing articles published between 2020 and 2025. The results determined that the most frequently used strategies by teachers are graphic organizers, problem-based learning (PBL), and the use of ICT. Contextual factors that facilitate the development of these skills include motivation, positive emotions, and teaching methodology. The main difficulties encountered in achieving these skills are a lack of metacognitive knowledge and control.

Keywords : Metacognitive skills; cognitive processes; learning; pedagogical strategies; students.
