Resumo: | The present paper analyses the developmental patterns of children’s perceptions of their competence in school and global self-worth and the impact of school performance, grade retention and school transitions on those same perceptions. These variables were assessed in 526 Portuguese students, 245 girls and 281 boys, from 5th to 9th grades. The results showed that: (a) the boys’ self-perceptions are generally more positive than the girls’ perceptions of themselves; (b) the students with a better school performance see themselves as more competent in school than those with poor performance; and (c) school transitions seem to have a negative impact on students’ self-perceptions but only after 7th grade. These findings are discussed in terms of their implications for the development of interventions to promote school achievement. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17575/rpsicol.v18i1.419 |

The development of self-worth and competence in school perceptions in 5th to 9th grades studentsO desenvolvimento das percepções de valor pessoal e de competência escolar em estudantes do 2º e do 3º ciclos-The present paper analyses the developmental patterns of children’s perceptions of their competence in school and global self-worth and the impact of school performance, grade retention and school transitions on those same perceptions. These variables were assessed in 526 Portuguese students, 245 girls and 281 boys, from 5th to 9th grades. The results showed that: (a) the boys’ self-perceptions are generally more positive than the girls’ perceptions of themselves; (b) the students with a better school performance see themselves as more competent in school than those with poor performance; and (c) school transitions seem to have a negative impact on students’ self-perceptions but only after 7th grade. These findings are discussed in terms of their implications for the development of interventions to promote school achievement. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17575/rpsicol.v18i1.419O presente artigo analisa as trajectórias desenvolvimentistas da percepção que as crianças têm da sua competência escolar e do seu valor pessoal, bem como o impacto do rendimento escolar, da retenção no mesmo ano e das transições escolares nessas percepções. Estas variáveis foram avaliada em 526 estudantes portugueses, 245 raparigas e 281 rapazes, do 5º ao 9º ano de escolaridade. Os resultados indicam que: (a) existem trajectórias desenvolvimentistas diferentes para os dois géneros, sendo de forma geral as auto-avaliações dos rapazes mais positivas do que as das raparigas; (b) os estudantes com um melhor desempenho vêem-se como mais competentes na escola do que aqueles com um baixo rendimento; e (c) a mudança de escola parece afectar negativamente as percepções dos estudantes, mas só a partir do 7º ano de escolaridade. Por último, discute-se as implicações destes resultados para o planeamento de intervenções clínicas que procuram promover sucesso escolar.
