N2 - This chapter makes a call for contributing to shape a theoretical and well sounded baseline concerning metacognition. It begins recognizing the fuzzy boundaries of the metacognition field and tailors a profile through a wide collection of related works. Particularly, this research focuses on an essential subject: metacognition models. Thus, a sample of proposals for describing the nature, components, and performance of the metacognition is summarized, and a proposal called Conceptual Model of the Metacognitive Activity (CMMA) is introduced. The CMMA is a conceptual model that depicts the metacognitive activity with the purpose of providing a functional view of how metacognition interacts with object-oriented cognition. Such a model takes into account basic aspects of neurology and biology sciences. Additionally, the autopoiesis property is considered to describe the autonomy and performance of the metacognition. Moreover, an analysis of metacognitive models is outlined and a comparison between them and the CMMA is made in order to shape an overall idea of what metacognition is, and the contribution of the CMMA. In this way, valuable topics are provided to encourage research oriented to build the metacognition basis.
