Abstract(s)
Compreender a complexidade da problemática do in/sucesso e/ou do abandono escolar, tem sido uma
das preocupações dominantes da investigação nas últimas décadas, sendo não só objeto do interesse
geral, como também tem vindo a municiar os discursos críticos em relação à dita escola de massas.
Neste sentido, a presente investigação incide na análise dos preditores familiares e individuais do
rendimento escolar de adolescentes. Participaram neste estudo 222 adolescentes com idades
compreendidas entre os 14 e os 16 anos, que frequentavam o 9º ano de escolaridade. Os dados foram
recolhidos em escolas secundárias, através do Questionário de Estilos Educativos Parentais e da Escala
de Exploração e Investimento Vocacional.
O nível de escolaridade das mães, a monitorização parental e o investimento vocacional revelaram-se
preditores do rendimento escolar. Os resultados são discutidos à luz de uma abordagem psicossocial
sendo retiradas implicações para a intervenção psicológica.
Understanding the complexity of school failure and school dropout has been one of the main concerns of research in recent decades, being not only the object of general interest, but also providing the substance for critics regarding a school of masses. The present research focuses on the analysis of family and individual predictors of adolescents’ school achievement. Participants were 222 adolescents aged between 14 and 16 years, attending the 9th grade. Data collection was made on higher/secondary schools with a Portuguese version of the Parenting Scales and the Vocational Exploration and Investment Questionnaire. Results indicated three main predictors of school achievement amongst teenagers namely, mothers’ school years, parental monitoring and vocational investment. Results are discussed from a psychosocial standpoint and implications for psychological intervention are drawn.
