Resumo
The study of cognitive planning in preschool children is approached from the analysis of trajectories in the solution of the Tower of Hanoi (ToH). We worked with a sample of 50 children between 4 and 6 years old, selected from preschool educational institutions. Non-experimental cross-sectional study with a microgenetic design of repeated measures (5 attempts of resolution) in which the children solved the problem in a game session through a web application. The cognitive planning functions exhibited by boys and girls in the solution of the problem show a variable microdevelopment. The results show different planning modalities, independently of age, with variable and differentiated dynamics in the trajectories. Variability is an indicator of reorganization of cognitive planning that adjusts - moment to moment - to the demands and constraints of the task. Coexistence of different planning modalities during the solution process. The analysis of trajectories allows going beyond the success or failure in solving the task, to show global characteristics of the cognitive functioning of planning.
