Resumen
This article presents a scientifically and methodologically grounded system for developing metacognitive skills in 6–7-year-old children based on the “Meta-play integral” approach. In the study, play-based activity is considered as a pedagogical environment that creates opportunities for children to become aware of their own activities, plan them, monitor the process, identify errors, modify their strategies, and evaluate the outcomes. The concept of “Meta-play integral” is interpreted as an author-developed approach that represents the purposeful integration of play-based activities and metacognitive processes. The interrelationship among the target, content, procedural, instrumental, pedagogical conditions, monitoring and assessment, and outcome components of the methodological system is described. The methodological potential of integrating problem-based, role-playing, rule-based, constructive, and reflective games with metacognitive tasks is substantiated.
