dc.description.abstract<jats:p>Abstract Human figure drawing (HFD) is one of the most widely tests used to assess children's intellectual development. This study investigated the evidence of the validity and reliability of HFD for children in Madeira using Wechsler`s scoring system. The sample included 489 children (49% girls), 5-13 years old, from schools in the 1st and 2nd cycles of the education system. The instruments were: HFD, Raven's Colored Progressive Matrices (CPM) test, and school grades (Portuguese and Mathematics). There were differences by age, gender, and the figure drawn. The correlations between HFD, CPM, and school grades were significant. Reliability was satisfactory (&gt;0.80). In conclusion, the Wechsler’s scoring system for HFD has evidence of validity and reliability for children in Madeira indicating the possibility of its use after obtaining Portuguese norms.</jats:p>eng
dc.description.abstractO desenho da figura humana (DFH) é uma das formas mais utilizadas para avaliar o desenvolvimento intelectual infantil. Este estudo investigou as evidências da validade e precisão do sistema Wechsler de correção do DFH para as crianças da Madeira. A amostra incluiu 489 crianças (49% meninas), com entre 5 e 13 anos de idade, de escolas do 1º e 2º ciclos do sistema educativo. Os instrumentos foram: DFH, teste de Matrizes Progressivas Coloridas de Raven (MPCR) e notas escolares (Português e Matemática). Existem diferenças por idade, sexo e da figura desenhada. As correlações entre DFH, MPCR e notas escolares foram significativas. A precisão foi satisfatória (>0,80). Concluindo, este teste DFH possui evidências de validade e precisão, indicando a possibilidade de utilização após obtenção de normas portuguesas.por
