RESUMO | INTRODUÇÃO: A metacognição, entendida como a consciência dos seus próprios processos cognitivos, é uma habilidade importante para o aprendizado, contribuindo para o desempenho acadêmico, além de se relacionar ao desenvolvimento de raciocínio clínico. No entanto, não há revisões de escopo sobre o tema na educação em enfermagem. OBJETIVO: Assim, buscou-se mapear a aplicação do conceito de metacognição na formação de enfermeiros. MÉTODO: Realizou-se uma revisão de escopo seguindo as recomendações do Instituto Joana Briggs. Dos 142 artigos identificados nas bases de dados PubMed, Eric, SciELO e BVS, foram incluídos 21 após se aplicar critérios de elegibilidade. RESULTADOS: Encontrou-se que a metacognição possui uma vasta aplicação para a formação do enfermeiro, incluindo a relação entre: o nível de metacognição e o aprendizado; métodos de ensino; e desenvolvimento de habilidades. Embora os estudantes de enfermagem não atinjam os níveis mais elevados de metacognição, a aplicação de intervenções educacionais parece ter o potencial de aumentá-la, o que contribui para a otimização do desempenho acadêmico e no desenvolvimento de competências essenciais para o campo da enfermagem. CONCLUSÃO: Nesse sentido, a metacognição demonstra ser de grande importância para o desenvolvimento do raciocínio clínico do enfermeiro, de habilidades para a prática clínica e para a redução de erros. Portanto, a aplicação da metacognição deve ser explorada na universidade e em estudos longitudinais que ratifiquem seus efeitos na formação do enfermeiro.
