Related to metacognition, some authors make a distinction between growth and learning, where growth is developing the capacity to learn and perform, which inclusive and beyond metacognition. I'm looking for good papers on fostering growth and performance capacity, dispositions, and supports for their development.
For example, this paper resonates well with how I'd like to explore the subject. Jain C. R., Apple, D. K. & Ellis Jr., W. (2015) “What is Self-Growth?” International Journal of Process Education (June 2015, Volume 7 Issue 1), pp. 41-52. Retrieved 3/7/2017 from http://pcrest.com/recovery/articles/selfgrowth.pdf.

I do not have a link, although Positive Focus linked to Growth might provide some interesting data.
Regarding dispositions, you may also research on "epistemological beliefs". Key authors are (mainly based on Perry, 1970) Schommer; Pintrich; and Hammer & Elby - the latter departing somewhat from the former, see link below.
You will find that research is far from conclusive and the reliability of instruments is not what one would hope for. In other words, an exciting field of science.

Dear David,
I would recommend that you consider self-regulated learning as it is a wider construct that metacognition and appears to be relevant to your research question. There is a list of references attached to one of my projects: https://www.researchgate.net/project/The-relationship-between-self-regulated-learning-learning-development-academic-achievement-and-life-long-learning
Thank you, Robert, Leopold, and Peter. I appreciate the thoughtful answers. SRL is indeed a unifying concept for this question.
