ABSTRACT

O objetivo do presente estudo foi verificar a relação das variáveis idade e escolaridade com desempenho escolar de alunos do ensino fundamental. Participaram da pesquisa 855 alunos, estudantes de ensino fundamental da rede pública estadual do estado de Santa Catarina, com idades entre 6 e 16 anos. Foi aplicado em todos os participantes o Teste de Desempenho Escolar (TDE), que é composto por três subtestes: Escrita, Aritmética e Leitura. Os resultados demonstraram que o desempenho escolar da amostra estudada relacionou-se de forma significativa com as séries, podendo ser observada uma linearidade entre nível de escolaridade e desempenho escolar. O mesmo não ocorreu com a variável idade. Diante dos dados mencionados é relevante ressaltar a importância em identificar precocemente aspectos relacionados ao desempenho escolar, bem como a necessidade de atualizações de normas para interpretação dos resultados do Teste de Desempenho Escolar (TDE) por meio das análises mostradas nesta pesquisa.


This study aimed at assessing the relation between age and schooling with the academic performance of elementary students. 855 students participated in the research, elementary school students attending at public schools in the state of Santa Catarina-Brasil, aging between 6 and 16 years old. The Teste de Desempenho Escolar (TDE) was administrated to all participants, which is composed of three subtests, namely, Writing, Arithmetic and Reading. The results showed that school performance was significantly related to grades, so that it was observed a linear correlation between schooling and school performance. This was not seen with the variable age. From the data listed above, it is relevant to emphasize the importance of early identification of issues related to school performance, as well as the need for updates of standards for interpreting the results of TDE through the analysis shown in this investigation.

Fue aplicado en todos los participantes el Test de Desempeño Escolar (TDE), que es compuesto por tres subtestes: Escrita, Aritmética y Lectura. Los resultados demostraron que el desempeño escolar de la muestra estudiada se relacionó significativamente con los años escolares, siendo observada una linealidad entre nivel de escolaridad y desempeño escolar. Lo mismo no ocurrió con la variable edad. Ante esos datos, es relevante señalar la importancia de identificarse precozmente aspectos relacionados al desempeño escolar, así como la necesidad de actualizaciones de normas para interpretación de los resultados del TDE a través de análisis mostradas en el presente trabajo.

ABSTRACT

The present study aims to evaluate psychometric data on the population of Brazil using of the Color Trails Test (CTT). The instrument was applied to 1,942 subjects who came from the north (1.4 percent), northeast (10.4 percent), midwest (7.7 percent), southeast (65.9 percent), and south (13.9 percent) regions of Brazil. Ages varied from 18 to 86 years (M = 40.03 years; DP = 16.02), with 386 males (19.9 percent) and 1,556 females (80.1 percent). Regarding schooling, 57 (3 percent) of participants were illiterate, 1.240 (64 percent) had primary education and 645 (33 percent) had a high school and/or superior diploma. The length of schooling ranged from 0 to 14 (M = 7.81, SD = 3.51) years. Good accuracy ratings were obtained using Spearman's coefficient on the main measures of the CTT, including time of execution form 1 (0.76) and form 2 (0.82). Regional variations showed that the northeast region had the worst results on the instrument. Males had better performance on the proposed task, with significant differences between age groups and the worst results for ages greater than 60 years. For both sexes, an increase in score was noticed with increasing age, and better performance was found with increasing levels of education. The present results suggest that the CTT can identify attentional disturbances with significant variations in the time of execution.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo do estudo foi encontrar evidências de validade das Matrizes Progressivas Avançadas de Raven em universitários. Participaram 369 universitários de duas universidades privadas do estado de São Paulo, sendo 104 (28,2%) do sexo masculino e 265 (71,8%) do feminino. Em relação aos cursos, 167 (45,3%) são de Psicologia, 111 (30,1%) de Administração de Empresas, 54 (14,6%) de Gestão de Recursos Humanos e 37 (10%) de Pedagogia. Os resultados demonstraram que houve diferença significativa com relação ao gênero, com um melhor desempenho do sexo maculino (t=4,21 e p<0,01). A análise de variância (ANOVA) mostrou que ocorreu diferença significativa entre as médias obtidas em cada curso (F=13,8 e p<0,00), e os cursos que se diferenciaram de acordo com o teste ad-boc de Tukey foram os de Administração e Psicologia. Os resultados demonstraram que o instrumento utilizado mostrou-se preciso para avaliar, aspectos da inteligência geral em universitários.


The aim of the study was to find validity evidence of Raven's Advanced Progressive Matrices in university students. The sample consisted of 369 university students from two private universities in the state of São Paulo, being a 104 (28,1%) of the masculine and 265 (71,8%) of the feminine. Regarding the courses, 167 (45,3%) is of Psychology, 111 (30,1%) is of Business Administration, 54 (14,6%) is of Management of Human Resources and 37 (10%) is of Pedagogy. The results showed statiscally significant difference of sex, with males having better performance in the instrument (t=4.21; p,<0.01). The analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed significant difference between averanges of the courses (F=13,8; p<0,00), and the courses that are differentiated in accordance with the test ad-boc of Tukey were Administration and Psychology that obtained scores bigger than the others courses. The results demonstrated what the used instrument showed precisely to value aspects of the general intelligence at university students.

ABSTRACT

Este artigo teve como objetivo investigar os aspectos da personalidade denominados extroversão e socialização, em profissionais no contexto organizacional, além de explorar possíveis diferenças entre as variáveis sexo, idade e cargos exercidos. A amostra foi composta por 68 participantes, sendo 45,6 por cento do sexo feminino e 54,4 por cento do sexo masculino, com idades entre 16 e 62 anos. Aplicou-se a Escala Fatorial de Extroversão (EFEx) e a Escala Fatorial de Socialização (EFS). Foi obtido nos dois instrumentos, um bom índice de precisão (a=0,87) e observou-se correlação positiva de 0,47 entre o fator Amabilidade (EFS) com o fator Interações Sociais (EFEx). Por outro lado o Fator Pró-sociabilidade (EFS) obteve correlação negativa de -0,52 com o fator Altivez (EFEx), ambas correlações estatisticamente significantes (p<0,01). As escalas demonstraram avaliar construtos relacionados, entretanto, novos estudos são necessários a fim de verificar as particularidades desses instrumentos para o contexto organizacional.


The aim of this article was to investigate personality traits such as extraversion and agreeableness in professionals within organizational context, besides explore possible differences in the sex, age and job position variables. The sample consisted of 68 participants, 45.6 percent females and 54.4 percent males, aged from 16-62 years old. The Extroversion Factor Scale (Escala Fatorial de Extroversão - EFEx) and the Agreeableness Factor Scale (Escala Fatorial de Socialização - EFS) were applied. A good precision in both tests (a=0,87) was obtained and a positive correlation of 0,47 between the Agreeableness factor (EFS) with the Social Interactions factor (EFEx) was observed. On the other hand, the Pro-sociability factor (EFS) showed a negative correlation of -0,52 with the Pride factor (EFEx), both correlations with statistical signification (p<0.01). The scales demonstrated to assess correlated constructs, however, further studies are necessary in order to verify the peculiarities of these instruments within the organizational context.
