Resumo: The purpose of this study was to compare the performanceon Longeot's Échelle de Développement de la Pensée Logique (EPL),especially at the formal level of first and last year students of Psychology,Physical Education and Physics of the University of São Paulo. This interestwas based on theoretical issue raised by Piaget in 1972 and by otherauthors as well as on the results of previous studies which showed that themajority of 15 and 16-year-olds were classified at the pre-formal level on Longeot's scale. The present research was intended to verify the influenceof professional specialization on the mental operations of the subjects. Theanalysis of the results showed that the content of the three courses underinvestigation did not influence the manifestation of formal structures by thesubjects. The students entered the university with different levels ofdevelopment of thought, though age was not a factor. Male subjectsperformed better than female, however. Based on the results, conclusionsare offered with respect to Piaget's operational theory, the EPL as aninstrument for evaluating operational thought, and the cognitive andeducational implications.

Este objetivo baseou-se no interesse teórico levantado por Piaget em 1972 e por outros autores, bem como em dados de pesquisas realizadas anteriormente as quais demonstraram que a maioria dos sujeitos de 15/16 anos classificaram-se no nível PréFormal da escala de Longeot. A presente pesquisa pretendeu verificara influência da especialização profissional no desenvolvimento das operações mentais dos sujeitos. A análise dos resultados obtidos demonstrou que os conteúdos oferecidos pelos três cursos estudados parecem não interferir na forma de manifestação das estruturas formais dos sujeitos. Verificou-se também que os alunos já entram na Universidade em diferentes níveis de desenvolvimento do pensamento; e não se verificou influência da idade dos sujeitos em seu desempenho. O mesmo não ocorreu com a variável sexo dos sujeitos: constantou-se que sujeitos do sexo masculino desempenharam-se melhor na EPL que os do sexo feminino. Com base nos resultados obtidos, refletiu-se sobre a teoria operatória de Piaget, a EPL enquanto instrumento de avaliação do nível de desenvolvimento operatório e sobre as implicações cognitivas e educacionais de pesquisa com sujeitos adultos.Instituto de Psicologia - Universidade de Brasília2012-06-14info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/revistaptp/article/view/16997Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; Vol. 2 No. 2: Revista Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; 165-178Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; Vol. 2 Núm. 2: Revista Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; 165-178Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; Vol. 2 No. 2: Revista Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; 165-178Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; v. 2 n. 2: Revista Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; 165-1781806-34460102-3772reponame:Psicologia (Universidade de Brasília.
