Abstract(s)
Investigações sobre o insucesso académico evidenciam que a natureza dos resultados obtidos pelos
alunos se relaciona de modo significativo com uma série de variáveis como a motivação, autoconceito
e auto-estima. No presente estudo pretendemos analisar as relações existentes entre o estatuto escolar
e o autoconceito, auto-estima e orientações motivacionais de alunos do 9º ano de escolaridade ao
longo do ano lectivo. Para o efeito realizámos um estudo longitudinal com dois momentos de
avaliação: um no início do 2º período e outro no final do 3º período.
Participaram no estudo 158 alunos que responderam à escala de autoconceito e auto-estima (Peixoto
& Almeida, 1999) e à escala de orientações motivacionais de Skaalvik (1997; Peixoto, Mata, &
Monteiro, 2008).
As análises aos dados indicaram que o estatuto escolar introduz diferenças nalgumas dimensões do
autoconceito (autoconceito académico e autoconceito de apresentação) e um efeito tendencial na autoestima.
Os resultados obtidos permitiram também evidenciar a existência de diferenças nas orientações
motivacionais (orientação para a tarefa e orientação para o evitamento) introduzidas pelo estatuto
escolar.
Research about underachievement show that school achievement relates significantly with variables such as motivation and self-concept. In this study we intend to analyze the relationships between academic status and self-concept, self-esteem and motivational orientations of 9th grade students,during the school year. For this, we carried out a longitudinal study with assessments at two different moments: at the beginning of the 2nd term and at the end of the 3rd term. Participants were 158 students that answer to a self-concept and self-esteem scale (Peixoto & Almeida, 1999) and to the Skaalvik’s scale of motivational orientations (Skaalvik, 1997; Peixoto, Mata, & Monteiro, 2008). Results show that academic status introduces differences in some dimensions of self-concept (Academic and Presentation Self-Concepts) and a marginal effect on self-esteem. Results also show differences in motivational orientations (Task and Avoidance Orientations), introduced by academic status.
