YNOUB, Roxana Cecilia; SAMAJA, Juan; VITALICH, Pablo  and  FARIAS, Vanina. From practical to institutional schemata: the case of the distribution formats of collective objects in the preschool context. Anu. investig. [online]. 2006, vol.13, pp.193-205. ISSN 1851-1686.

The purpose of this paper is to describe some of the characteristics of the scholar institution of initial level in pursue to assess its function in psycho-cognitive development. An action scheme, characteristic of the scholar environment, which we have denominated rationally justified distribution of collective objects schemata is analyzed. That is, those routines in which the development of the activity is based on the assignation of common objects. The empirical material was obtained throughout the non-participant observation in classes of 2 and 3 years old in a kindergarten of the province of Buenos Aires. The study is descriptive exploratory and proposes itself to identify and discuss the categories that characterize the components of the described scheme. Four mayor phases have been identified as invariants that underlay the diverse experiences in which this distribution scheme actualizes. The characteristics of each of those phases are analyzed and, its possible function in cognitive development, assessed (reflexive abstraction, rationalized justification and norms and rules objectification).
