Abstract(s)
Sabias que observação repetida de outros promove uma ilusão de aquisição de
competências? Diversos estudos comparam a sensação de aprendizagem e a execução de uma
aprendizagem. Neste estudo procuramos averiguar se o diferente envolvimento com a
aprendizagem (i.e., imaginar, rever, ler-sistematizar e simular) tem impacto na forma como o
individuo sente a sua aprendizagem, e na relação que esse sentir estabelece com o
desempenho. Especificamente, procurámos evidências de ilusões de aprendizagem passíveis
de afetar o trabalhador. Assim, através de uma tarefa típica do contexto laboral, o nosso
estudo compara quatro grupos com duas variáveis dependentes, uma é a estimativa de
aprendizagem, a outra é a aprendizagem real. Apesar de os nossos resultados não seguirem
exatamente as nossas hipóteses, verificamos que de facto quanto mais as pessoas observam
outros, mais acreditam que podem desempenhar a tarefa elas próprias, e que basta uma
pequena sensação de realizar a tarefa para baixar as suas expetativas de sucesso. Os nossos
resultados são discutidos tendo por base investigações anteriores que exploram as ilusões de
aprendizagem e à luz da teoria dos sentimentos-como-informação e do efeito de Dunning-
Kruger. Limitações do estudo são discutidas e direções futuras são fornecidas.
Did you know that repeated observation from others can foster an illusion of skill acquisition? Several studies compare a learning sensation and the execution of a learning. In this study, we sought to determine whether different types of engagement with learning (i.e., imagining, reviewing, reading-systematizing, and simulating) have an impact on how an individual feel about his learning, and the relationship that this feeling establishes with performance. Specifically, we seek to test whether in the work context there are also learning illusions that may affect the worker in his workplace in the performance of a task in its usual context. Thus, our study compares four groups with two dependent variables, one is a learning estimate, another is a real learning. Although our results did not follow exactly our assumptions, we find that in fact the more people observe others, the more they believe they can perform the task themselves, and that a small sense of doing is enough to lower their expectations of success. Our results are discussed based on previous investigations that explore learning illusions and at the light of Feeling-as-Information theory and the Dunning- Kruger effect. Limitations of the study are discussed, and future directions are provided.
