Los niveles de planificación como función ejecutiva y su relación con los hábitos de estudio de los estudiantes de un instituto preuniversitario de la ciudad de Quito, en el año 2023

Abstract

In the following study, the understanding of the development of executive functions in adolescence is enriched, focusing on a sample of 18-year-old individuals. To carry out this research, quantitative methodology was used, collecting data obtained after the implementation of two meticulously designed tests to evaluate study habits with the CASM-85 test and the level of planning of adolescents with the Tower of Hanoi test. The relevance of this approach lies in the ability to shed knowledge on cognitive processes in a vital phase of life, thus providing valuable insights. By carefully analyzing the results obtained, we seek to further understand the cognitive development of adolescence, but also to identify patterns and correlations that could have transcendental implications for the educational field. The study also aims to contribute to a more complete view of cognitive development in adolescence and to provide fundamental information for safer educational design and practices. Also identify certain patterns in the study habits of 18-year-old adolescents and how planning could have significant consequences for the optimization of educational programs appropriate to the needs of adolescents. This is how this approach seeks not only to understand how executive functions in this particular phase of development. But it also offers practical guidelines that inform decision-making in the educational field and in intervention aimed at maximizing the cognitive potential of adolescents. As a result, there is a direct relationship between planning levels and study habits in 18-year-old adolescents, understanding that the better the development of planning, the better the study habits the adolescent will have
