LA SOLUCIóN DE PROBLEMAS COGNITIVOS EN ESTUDIANTES DE PSICOLOGíAKeywords: cognitive problem solving, productive thinking, heuristic strategies in mathematical games and entertainment, structuring socio-cognitive conflict, instrumental mediation method. Abstract: this paper analyzes problem solving in psychology students on cognitive and social-cognitive aspects. the objective is to examine the method whereby these students are educated in problem-solving processes through the development of three cognitive tasks: productive thinking (creative), heuristic strategies in mathematical games and entertainment, and structuring situation in socio-cognitive conflict. the theoretical foundations are cultural-historical psychology, cognitive computational science and cognitive social psychology. the work comprises three stages: pre-test, intervention sessions (experimental condition) and post-test. in the pre-test - post-test the initial and final states are assessed. the intervention sessions involve, namely, the method of instrumental mediation (material tools, semiotic instruments and other subjects), the heuristic procedure "means-end-analysis", the conceptualizations on structuring or creative conflict of a cognitive activity, and the proximal development zone. research results are presented in the so-called contingency tables, where the activity, development and progress of students in cognitive tasks can be observed.
