ABSTRACT
Se realizó una intervención con 35 estudiantes de primer año de la carrera de Derecho Universidad de Atacama, con la finalidad de favorecer el aprendizaje de estrategias de afrontamiento para la ansiedad ante las evaluaciones académicas. Ésta constó de seis talleres psicoeducativos donde se abordaron temáticas como el afrontamiento orientado al problema y a la emoción, el autoconcepto académico y las estrategias de aprendizaje. De esta manera, se buscó ayudar a los estudiantes a ampliar y mejorar sus recursos de afrontamiento como medio para preparar y rendir evaluaciones académicas. Esta intervención generó una contribución directa en el afrontamiento de las evaluaciones académicas. En este sentido, los estudiantes ampliaron y mejoraron su abanico de respuestas frente a la ansiedad, reforzando y potenciando técnicas que ya utilizaban en su día a día. Adicionalmente, se entregaron nuevas herramientas que permiten afrontar de manera adaptativa la situación evaluativa, contribuyendo a que ésta no sea una experiencia desagradable, aversiva y generadora de evitación.
An intervention was carried out with 35 first-year law students at the University of Atacama to promote coping strategies for assessment-related anxiety through psychoeducational workshops. These workshops addressed issues such as problem-oriented and emotion-oriented coping and academic self-concept and learning strategies, helping students expand and improve their coping resources to prepare for and take academic assessments. This intervention generates a direct contribution in coping with academic assessments, where students expanded and improved their range of responses to anxiety, reinforcing and enhancing techniques that they already used in their daily lives, in addition to providing new tools to cope adaptively with the assessment situation, helping to ensure that this is not an unpleasant experience, aversive and generating avoidance.

No presente trabalho verificou-se a relação das habilidades sociais e desempenho escolar em diferentes anos escolares e por sexo, visando fornecer evidências de validade para o Teste de Habilidades Sociais em Crianças e Adolescentes em situação escolar (THAS-C). Foram avaliadas 196 crianças do Ensino Fundamental de duas escolas do interior do estado de São Paulo, com idades que variaram de 8 a 10 anos, sendo 52% do sexo feminino. Foi aplicado o Teste de Habilidades Sociais para crianças em situação escolar e o Teste de Desempenho de Escrita, Leitura e Matemática. Dentre os resultados, se verificou que um repertório maior de habilidades sociais tende a ser acessado em anos escolares mais avançados e parecem facilitar o desempenho em diferentes áreas de desempenho igualmente. Os resultados apresentam consonância com a literatura, indicando a necessidade de se ampliar as informações acerca do repertório social em crianças com diferentes desempenhos escolares. Neste sentido, pode-se aferir que as condutas se associam às dificuldades específicas em escrita, leitura e matemática e, que o curso destas associações varia em razão do sexo e idade. Além disso, se verificou a importância da avaliação e consideração de estudos sobre as habilidades sociais, dadas as implicações educacionais associadas.
In this study, the relations between social skills and academic performance were studied. We posed associations between social skills and performance in writing and mathematics as well as between conversational skills and these two academic performance measures in girls. In boys we posed associations between assertiveness and academic performance in the two areas. Participants were 196 elementary school children from two schools in the state of São Paulo, with ages ranging 8-10 years, 52% females were evaluated by means of the Test of Social Skills in Children and Adolescents in school situation (THAS-C) and Test of academic performance in writing and maths. The results pointed out that greater social skills tend to be achieved in later schooling years and appear to facilitate performance in different areas of academic performance. In this sense, we suggest that the behaviors are associated with specific difficulties in writing and mathematics, and that the course of these associations varies within sex and age. Furthermore, is indicated the importance of the evaluation of social skills in the academic context given the associated educational connections.
En el presente trabajo fue examinada la relación entre las habilidades sociales y el rendimiento académico en diferentes años escolares y género. Se utilizó la prueba habilidades sociales para niños en situación escolar (THAS-C). Este estudio evaluó 196 niños de la escuela primaria de dos escuelas en el estado de São Paulo. La edad Los participantes van de 8-10 años, 52% mujeres. Para evaluar a los participantes se utilizó La prueba habilidades sociales para niños en situación escolar y la Prueba de Escritura de rendimiento, Lectura y Matemáticas. Entre los resultados, se encontró que el aumento de las habilidades sociales tiende a ocurrir más en años avanzados y para facilitar la operación igualmente en diferentes áreas. Los resultados muestran un acuerdo con la literatura, lo que indica la necesidad de ampliar la información acerca de las habilidades sociales de los niños en los niños con diferentes problemas de aprendizaje. En tal sentido, podríamos inferir que las conductas se asocian a dificultades específicas en la lectura, escritura y matemáticas y que el curso de estas asociaciones varía en función del sexo y la edad. Además, es importante que las habilidades sociales sean estudiadas en esta población, dada las implicadas educaciones asociadas.
ABSTRACT
After the flow of academic papers into the journals and core journals covered in databases such as SCI and its reasons were analyzed , it was pointed out that objective need for paper publication , self-benefit seeking , guiding and promotion of scientific achievements assessment , contribution preference of scientific researchers were the important factors influencing the publication of academic papers, and perfection of scientific achievements as-sessment system , objective analysis of self-benefit seeking , establishment of corresponding standards for academic virtue, improvement of journal academic level, and perfection of standards for publication of academic papers were the measures for attracting the high academic level papers.
ABSTRACT
Background: Many studies have reported psychosocial problems among adolescents. Methodology: A study of distribution pattern of psychosocial problems was conducted according to academic assessment among the adolescent males aged 10 – 19 years students selected from all rural and urban schools situated within 1 KM of urban and rural health training centers of the department of Community Medicine, J.N. Medical College, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh. The study population comprised of 2347 students out of which 410 students were selected for study out which 390 students cooperated in the study. Semi-structured schedule for the record of psychosocial history, 35 items pediatric symptoms check list (YPSC) to screen psychosocial problems where applied and class teacher was requested for academic assessment of the student to grade according to 4 – points Likert scale that graded each student as (1) Excellent (2) Very Good (3) Average (4) Poor. Diagnosis was made as per criteria of ICD-10 (1999). Results: 17.9% students showed psychosocial problems. The problems were mere in students graded as poor in studies.

A psicometria tem enfatizado o papel da inteligência na explicação das diferenças individuais do rendimento escolar (DI). Este artigo questiona esse foco e investiga o papel preditivo da inteligência fluida (Gf) sobre as diferenças de desenvolvimento do rendimento escolar (DD). São analisados dados de 684 estudantes do sexto ano do ensino fundamental ao terceiro ano do ensino médio de uma escola particular de Belo Horizonte. As DI foram medidas via equalização das notas anuais em matemática, português, geografia e história. As DD foram mensuradas pelo vertical scaling, em matemática e português (no ensino fundamental) e matemática (no ensino médio). A Gf foi medida pelo conjunto de testes de inteligência fluida (Ctif). Um modelo via modelagem por equação estrutural foi gerado, no qual a Gf explica as DI e DD. O modelo apresentou adequado grau de ajuste aos dados. Os resultados indicam que a Gf explica diretamente apenas as diferenças de desenvolvimento. Implicações são discutidas para o campo psicométrico.
The psychometrics has emphasized the role of intelligence in explaining individual differences (ID) in academic performance. The current paper questions this focus and investigates the predictive role of fluid intelligence (Gf) on developmental differences (DD) of school performance (DD). Data from 684 students from 6th to 12nd grades of a Belo Horizonte private school were analyzed. The IDs were measured through the equalization of annual Math, Portuguese, Geography and History grades. The DD were measured through the vertical scaling of Math and Portuguese grades of the elementary school students, and Math grades of the high school students. Gf was measured through the Ctif. A model via structural equation modeling was created, with Gf explaining the IDs and DDs. The model showed adequate data fit. The results indicate that Gf directly explains only the differences in development. Implications for the psychometric field will be discussed.
La psicometría ha centrado en el papel de la inteligencia para explicar las diferencias individuales (DI) en el rendimiento académico. Este artículo cuestiona este enfoque y se investiga el papel predictivo de la inteligencia fluida (Gf) en las diferencias de desarrollo (DD) del rendimiento escolar (DD). Se analizaron datos de 684 estudiantes de sexto grado de primaria hasta el tercer año secundario de una escuela privada en Belo Horizonte. Los DI se midieron a través de la igualación anual de notas en matemáticas, portugués, geografía e historia. El DD se mide por el procedimiento de vertical scaling de matemáticas y portugués de los años primarios, y matemáticas de los años de secundaria. Gf se midió por el Ctif. Se ha generado un modelo a través de modelos de ecuaciones estructurales con Gf a explicar los DIs y los DDs. El modelo mostró un grado adecuado de ajuste a los datos. Los resultados indican que Gf directamente sólo explica las diferencias de desarrollo. Se discuten las implicaciones para el campo psicométrico.
