The aim of this study is to determine the development and use of metacognitive skills in children studying 1st, 2nd and 3rd early education in Mexico, these courses are equivalent to 4, 5 and 6 years old.The use of observational methodology is optimal in this study because of the participant's age, the usual environment (the school context) and behavior. This observational design is classified as nomothetic, monitoring and multidimensional.Children must solve a problem game individually. This activity is recorded and analyzed in order to detect the sequence of metacognitive skills are used during their resolution and displayed.The results show the use of metacognitive skills solving the task along the three ages studied. As age increases the frequency and variety of metacognitive skills increases and also their use in combination with more complex cognitive strategies.These results show the existence and development of metacognitive skills in early age corroborating another recent works performed with observational methodology. Children in this age group have a metacognitive knowledge, therefore is important to incorporate educational activities related to these skills into the curriculum along differents educational levels.Key words: Metacognitive abilities, Obsevational Methodology, Childhood, Learning. RESUMENEl objetivo de este estudio es conocer el desarrollo y uso de habilidades metacognitivas en niños y niñas que estudian 1º, 2º y 3º de Educación Inicial en México, cursos que se corresponden con los 4, 5 y 6 años de edad de los escolares.
Resumen-La procrastinación académica (tendencia irracional a demorar la realización de una tarea académica) afecta a numerosos estudiantes, perjudicando su aprendizaje y rendimiento académico además de su salud física y psicológica. Bajo estos hábitos procrastinadores subyacen deficits en autorregulación, habilidad imprescindible para el aprendizaje autónomo que todo universitario debe desarrollar. A su vez, estos déficits autorregulatorios se deben a niveles inadecuados en distintas variables cognitivas, metacognitivas y motivacionales. Los objetivos de este trabajo son conocer el nivel de procrastinación que presenta el alumnado universitario de nuevo ingreso, así como determinar qué variables cognitivas, metacognitivas y motivacionales pueden predecirlo. Además, se pretende conocer si existen diferencias tanto en el nivel de procrastinación como en las variables predictoras del mismo en función del Grado que cursan los estudiantes que componen la muestra: N=303 estudiantes de los Grados en Magisterio en Educación Infantil (n 1 = 113) y Magisterio en Educación Primaria (n 2 = 190). Los resultados indican que la muestra presenta un nivel de procrastinación medio, no existiendo diferencias en función del Grado que cursan los participantes. Sin embargo, las variables predictoras del mismo sí varían entre los estudiantes de cada Grado. Se discuten las implicaciones educativas de estos resultados en cuanto a su utilidad para diseñar actividades preventivas en cada Grado.Palabras clave: Procrastinación, autorregulación, aprendizaje autónomo, cognición, metacognición, motivación, alumnado universitario de nuevo ingreso.Abstract-Academic procrastination (irrational tendency to delay of an academic task) affects many students, impairing their learning and academic performance in addition to their physical and psychological health. The reason behind the problem of procrastination are deficits in self-regulation, an essential skill for the autonomous learning that every university student must develop. These self-regulatory deficits are in turn caused by inadequate levels in different cognitive, metacognitive and motivational variables. Aims of this study are to know the level of procrastination in beginner university students and to determine which cognitive, metacognitive and motivational variables can predict their level of procrastination. In addition, this study pretends to know whether there are differences in the level of procrastination of students and in their predictor variables depending the Degree of the students that compose the sample: N = 303 students of the Early Childhood Education Degree (n 1 = 113) and of the Primary Education Degree (n 2 = 190). Results indicate that the sample shows a medium level of procrastination and there are no differences between the two groups of students depending on their Degree. However, the predictor variables of the procrastination vary among students of the two Degree. The results are discussed in relation to their usefulness in deriving intervention guidelines within th...
Abstract.This study aims to review progress in monitoring a childof five years and nine months with pervasive developmental disorders using a pilot program to improve executive function. According to theparticipant´s age and as well as its features, observational methodology is suitable for this research. The results show that monitoring behaviours continueimproving and the adult intervention decreases as the intervention proceeds. The child takes the initiative of actions demonstrating more autonomy and rigor in monitoring activity at the end of the intervention.Keywords: Executive functions, pervasive developmental disorders, observational methodology, monitoring, childhood, intervention.Resumen.El presente estudio pretende examinar el progreso en la monitorización de la actividad de un niño de 5 años y nueve meses con Trastorno Generalizado del Desarrollo aplicando un programa piloto de mejora en función ejecutiva. Tanto por la edad como por las características del participante, la metodología observacional es la más adecuada para esta investigación. Los resultados indican que loslas conductas de monitorización de la actividad se van perfeccionado y la intervención del adulto disminuye conforme avanza la intervención. Durante las últimas sesiones, el niño toma la iniciativa de las acciones demostrando así más autonomía y rigor en la monitorización de su actividadPalabras clave: Funciones ejecutivas, trastornos generalizados del desarrollo, metodología observacional, monitorización, infancia, intervención.
