Sumario:The aim of this study was to verify if the learning and use of metacognitive strategies had a positive impact on writing. The theoretical framework adopted was that of Cognitive Psychology, guided by Flavell (1976). Two students of Pedagogy participated in the study, wich employed a qualitative method. The procedures consisted of seven meetings, aiming to: (a) introduce how to write a review and how to use cognitive strategies to do so; (b) write  three  reviews;  (c)  collect  two  self-assessments  from  the  participants;  and, (d) interview each student to learn about their writing process. In order to analyze the results, three categories were created (knowledge of the Person, of the Task,  and of       the Metacognitive Strategies). The results indicated that there was an evolution in the writing, suggesting that metacognitive strategies should be taught during basic education.
