Resumo: Executive Functions (EF) are understood as important predictors of academic performance. As for what constitutes EF, the executive triad model - Working Memory (WM), Inhibitory Control (IC) and Cognitive Flexibility (CF) - is one of the most explored models today. Considering the EF and its relationship with school performance in mathematics, it can be stated that there is no empirical data to infer which component has the highest predictive value on this performance. Therefore, the objective of this quantitative study is to verify which executive components are most associated with mathematical performance and what is the magnitude of this relationship. 110 participants aged from 8 to 12 years old, from public and private schools, were evaluated using the following instruments: the Mini-Mental State Examination (Meem), the Guide for Estimating Mathematical Skills (Coruja PROMAT), the Children’s Abbreviated Neuropsychological Assessment Tool (Neupsilin), the Five Digit Test (FDT) and a sociodemographic questionnaire. The results of the statistical analyses of correlation and regression revealed significant relationships between the three components and mathematical performance, with a strong predominance of WM, followed by CF and IC.

Quanto à composição das FE, o modelo da tríade executiva – Memória de Trabalho (MT), Controle Inibitório (CI) e Flexibilidade Cognitiva (FC) – é um dos mais explorados na atualidade. Considerando esse modelo e sua relação com o desempenho matemático escolar, pode-se afirmar a inexistência de dados empíricos que permitam inferir qual componente apresenta maior valor preditivo sobre esse desempenho. Portanto, objetivou-se com o presente estudo quantitativo verificar quais componentes executivos mais se associam ao desempenho matemático e qual é a magnitude dessa relação. Avaliaram-se 110 participantes com idades entre 8 e 12 anos, de escolas públicas e privadas, a partir dos instrumentos Mini-Exame do Estado Mental (Meem), Roteiro para Sondagem de Habilidades Matemáticas (Coruja Promat), Instrumento de Avaliação Neuropsicológica Breve Infantil (Neupsilin-INF), Five Digit Test (FDT) e questionário sociodemográfico. Os resultados das análises estatísticas de correlação e regressão empreendidas revelaram relações significativas entre os três componentes e o desempenho em matemática, com forte predominância da MT, seguida da FC e do CI.Las Funciones Ejecutivas (FE) son entendidas como predictoras importantes del rendimiento académico. En cuanto a la composición de las FE, el modelo de la tríada ejecutiva: Memoria de Trabajo (MT), Control Inhibitorio (CI) y Flexibilidad Cognitiva (FC) es uno de los más explorados en la actualidad. Teniendo en cuenta este modelo y su relación con el rendimiento matemático de la escuela, se puede decir que no hay datos empíricos que permitan inferir sobre cuál componente tiene el mayor valor predictivo sobre este rendimiento. Por lo tanto, el objetivo de este estudio cuantitativo fue verificar cuáles componentes ejecutivos están más asociados con el desempeño matemático y cuál es la magnitud de esta relación. Se evaluaron 110 participantes de 8 a 12 años, de escuelas públicas y privadas, utilizando los instrumentos: Miniexamen del Estado Mental (Meem), Guion para Sondeo de Habilidades Matemáticas (Coruja PROMAT), Herramienta de Evaluación Neuropsicológica Breve Infantil (Neupsilin-INF), Five Digit Test (FDT) y un cuestionario sociodemográfico. Los resultados de los análisis estadísticos de correlación y regresión realizados revelaron relaciones significativas entre los tres componentes y el rendimiento matemático, con un fuerte predominio de MT, seguido de FC y CI.INEP2020-12-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rbep.inep.gov.br/ojs3/index.php/rbep/article/view/413710.24109/2176-6681.rbep.101i259.4137Revista Brasileira de Estudos Pedagógicos; v. 101 n. 259 (2020)Revista Brasileña de Estudios Pedagógicos; Vol. 101 Núm. 259 (2020)Brazilian Journal of Pedagogical Studies ; Vol 101 No 259 (2020)2176-66810034-718310.24109/2176-6681.rbep.101i259reponame:Revista Brasileira de Estudos Pedagógicos (Online)instname:Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais Anísio Teixeira (INEP)instacron:INEPporhttps://rbep.inep.gov.br/ojs3/index.php/rbep/article/view/4137/387010.24109/2176-6681.rbep.101i259.3870Nunes de Santana, AlannyRoazzi, AntonioMelo, Monilly Ramos Araujoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-01-24T15:14:27Zoai:ojs3.inep:article/4137Revistahttp://emaberto.inep.gov.br/index.php/rbepPUBhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.php||tania.castro@inep.gov.br2176-66810034-7183opendoar:2023-01-24T15:14:27Revista Brasileira de Estudos Pedagógicos (Online) - Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais Anísio Teixeira (INEP)false
