SANTOS, Claudimara Chisté; ORTEGA, Antonio Carlos    QUEIROZ, Sávio Silveira de. Equilibration and grasp of consciousness: an analysis of the game. []. , 62, 3, pp.02-12. ISSN 1809-5267.

The goal of this study is to demonstrate theoretically the utilization viability of the game “Guess Who?” for the study of the following development processes: equilibration and grasp of consciousness, particular of the piagetian referential. The knowledge construction process passes, besides, by the interaction subject/object and observable/coordinations, which are dialectic pairs involved in the subject adaptation to the environment. By having unbalanced cognitive structures, the subject must try to comprehend his/her strategies and the characteristics of the object. By doing so, he walks to more central grasps of consciousness to the point in which he/she can solve the issue and for some time, maintain their structure balanced. The game “Guess Who?”, as demonstrated throughout this discussion is presented as an appropriate tool for understanding processes of knowledge construction, in that it enables the observation and verbal report about what the subject understands of himself/herself and the game.
