Associations between Psychosocial Functioning and Academic Achievement: The Peruvian Case / Asociaciones entre funcionamiento psicosocial y rendimiento académico: el caso peruano

This study investigated (a) how specific aspects of psychosocial functioning (behavioral problems and global self-worth) are associated with academic achievement in spelling, arithmetic and reading; and (b) what is the effect of type of school (private vs. public) on this association. The sample for this study consisted of 901 regular school children attending 6th grade of primary education, living in the urban zones of Metropolitan Lima, Peru. Our research hypotheses were partially corroborated. The results showed a strong relationship between academic achievement and psychosocial functioning, with an important role of gender and school failure at the student level. Nevertheless, we could not confirm our multilevel assumption. There is no evidence that this relationship differs among schools. Practical implications are discussed.

La muestra de este estudio consistió en 901 niños de escuelas regulares que asisten a sexto grado de educación primaria, que viven en las zonas urbanas de Lima, Perú. Nuestra hipótesis de investigación fue corroborada parcialmente. Los resultados mostraron una fuerte relación entre el rendimiento académico y el funcionamiento psicosocial, con un papel importante de género y el fracaso escolar en el nivel de los estudiantes. Sin embargo, no se pudo confirmar nuestra hipótesis de multinivel. No hay evidencia de que esta relación difiera entre las escuelas. Se discuten las implicaciones prácticas.
