Resumo: | Children with divorced parents or children living in single-parent families are expected to achieve lower academic performance in standardized tests when compared to children living with two biological parents. Nevertheless, the mechanisms of those disparities remain poorly addressed in the Brazilian literature. We compared the performance of students in the 5th-grade at the elementary level using Saeb of 2017 for Mathematics and Portuguese. The main objective was to address the differences between students living with: mother and father; mother and social father; mother only or with aggregates; father and social mother; father only or with aggregates; and other arrangements. Children living with their mother and a social father or with both biological parents had higher performances. Nonetheless, differences became insignificant when controlled by school infrastructure and location, household´s socioeconomic status and household´s social interactions. The results highlight the need for public policies to strengthen school and family resources invested on academic learning to overcome the challenges imposed by the new family configurations on children´s achievement. |

No entanto, os mecanismos dessas disparidades permanecem pouco abordados na literatura brasileira. Comparamos o desempenho dos alunos do 5º ano do ensino fundamental em Matemática e Português utilizando o Saeb de 2017. O objetivo principal foi abordar as diferenças entre os alunos que viviam com: mãe e pai; mãe e padrasto; mãe somente ou com agregados; pai e madrasta; pai somente ou com agregados; e outros arranjos. As crianças que viviam com a mãe e padrasto ou com ambos os pais biológicos tiveram desempenhos superiores. No entanto, as diferenças tornaram-se não significantes quando controladas pela infra-estrutura e localização escolar, pelo nível socioeconómico do domicílio e pelas interacções sociais no domicílio. Os resultados destacam a necessidade de políticas públicas para fortalecer os recursos escolares e familiares investidos no aprendizado acadêmica das crianças para superar os desafios impostos pelas novas configurações familiares.SciELO PreprintsSciELO PreprintsSciELO Preprints2023-12-19info:eu-repo/semantics/preprintinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/preprint/view/768210.1590/SciELOPreprints.7682enghttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/article/view/7682/14386Copyright (c) 2023 Andre Braz Golgher, Raquel Zanatta Coutinhohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGolgher, Andre BrazCoutinho, Raquel Zanattareponame:SciELO Preprintsinstname:Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO)instacron:SCI2023-12-10T13:04:05Zoai:ops.preprints.scielo.org:preprint/7682Servidor de preprintshttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scieloONGhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/oaiscielo.submission@scielo.orgopendoar:2023-12-10T13:04:05SciELO Preprints - Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO)false |

Children with divorced parents or children living in single-parent families are expected to achieve lower academic performance in standardized tests when compared to children living with two biological parents. Nevertheless, the mechanisms of those disparities remain poorly addressed in the Brazilian literature.

The main objective was to address the differences between students living with: mother and father; mother and social father; mother only or with aggregates; father and social mother; father only or with aggregates; and other arrangements. Children living with their mother and a social father or with both biological parents had higher performances. Nonetheless, differences became insignificant when controlled by school infrastructure and location, household´s socioeconomic status and household´s social interactions. The results highlight the need for public policies to strengthen school and family resources invested on academic learning to overcome the challenges imposed by the new family configurations on children´s achievement. |
