Rocha Silva Psicología social skills school performance Academic assessment In this study, the relations between social skills and academic performance were studied. We posed associations between social skills and performance in writing and mathematics as well as between con- versational skills and these two academic performance measures in girls. In boys we posed associations between assertiveness and academic performance in the two areas. Participants were 196 elementary school children from two schools in the state of São Paulo, with ages ranging 8-10 years, 52% females were evaluated by means of the Test of Social Skills in Children and Adolescents in school situation (THAS-C) and Test of academic performance in writing and maths. The results pointed out that greater social skills tend to be achieved in later schooling years and appear to facilitate performance in different areas of academic performance. In this sense, we suggest that the behaviors are associated with speci fi c dif fi culties in writing and mathematics, and that the course of these associations varies within sex and age. Furthermore, is indicated the importance of the evaluation of social skills in the academic context given the associated educational connections. 2016 artículo científico 1413-389X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=513754281007 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5137 Temas em Psicologia application/pdf Sociedade Brasileira de Psicologia Temas em Psicologia (Brasil) Num.4 Vol.24 |
