Summary: This study examines the relationship between self-efficacy, verbal reasoning and school performance. 57 primary school pupils (34 boys and 23 girls), with ages varying from 10 to 14 years, from private schools in Rio de Janeiro participated in the study. The following instruments were used: a test evaluating self-efficacy, a subtest of verbal reasoning from the BPR-5 test, and two Portuguese language grades obtained by school evaluations. Results show that both self-efficacy and verbal reasoning predict the school performance of the pupils. Feeling confident and able to face assessments seem to be as essential and important in attaining good school achievements as being intelligent and able to reason about the proposed problems.

Foram avaliados 57 alunos da rede particular de ensino do sexto e do sétimo ano do ensino fundamental de escolas particulares da cidade do Rio de Janeiro, com faixa etária variando de 10 a 14 anos; 34 do sexo masculino e 23 do sexo feminino. Os instrumentos utilizados foram o Roteiro de Avaliação de Auto-eficácia, a prova de raciocínio verbal da BPR-5 e as notas das avaliações escolares de Português e Redação. Os resultados mostram que tanto a auto-eficácia quanto o raciocínio verbal predizem o desempenho dos alunos. A auto-eficácia demonstra-se tão importante quanto as demais variáveis para um bom desempenho escolar.Instituto de Psicologia - Universidade de Brasília2011-03-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/revistaptp/article/view/18282Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; Vol. 27 n. 1Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; Vol. 27 n. 1Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; Vol. 27 n. 1Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; Vol. 27 n. 11806-34460102-3772reponame:Psicologia (Universidade de Brasília.
