This blog essay is by one of my favorite authors - Maryellen Weimer.  In this essay she dispels four of the most misconceptions about learning that many students (young and old!) believe.  The data does not support these beliefs.

This video explains metacognition not only in the teaching role but also in professional school (veterinary), which I think is very applicable to us as a class. She notes that metacognition is required even more so in the clerkship years, than in the first two years of school. She also give tips on how she applies metacognitive practices to the classroom setting. The practice I find particular noteworthy is the idea of the end of class essay to assess understanding and to dispel misconceptions.
