Indisciplina, medidas disciplinares e rendimento académico: fenómenos (in)dependentes?
Authors
Abstract(s)
A indisciplina tem sido um tema muito estudado e de suma importância,
principalmente, para o panorama português. Ainda, verifica-se que o insucesso escolar é
uma temática de estudo em ascensão, sendo que a literatura apoia a ideia de que existe,
efetivamente, uma relação entre a indisciplina e o rendimento académico. Contudo, a
escassez de estudos referentes à relação existente entre as anteriores e as medidas
disciplinares é um entrave ao encontro de estratégias potenciadoras do sucesso
académico. Assim sendo, o principal objetivo foi verificar, exatamente, se existia uma
relação entre a indisciplina, medidas disciplinares e rendimento académico e, a existir,
que impacto representa para a realidade educativa da Região Autónoma da Madeira. A
amostra deste estudo foi composta por 396 sujeitos, 71% do género masculino e 29% do
género feminino, com idades compreendidas entre os 9 e os 17 anos, que integram o
projeto de Capacitação de alunos da RAM, desenvolvido pela Secretaria Regional de
Educação. Os resultados indicam que, na variável género, existem diferenças
estatisticamente significativas, sendo que os rapazes são portadores de um maior índice
de indisciplina do que as raparigas, assim como de insucesso escolar. No que concerne à
variável classe etária, observaram-se níveis de indisciplina maiores nos alunos mais
velhos. Por fim, os dados revelam que existem relações significativas entre as três
variáveis principais do estudo, assim como o número de participações disciplinares e de
faltas injustificadas são preditores significativos do insucesso escolar.
Indiscipline has been a subject of great importance for Portuguese education. Also, academic failure is an ascending study theme. Literature supports the idea that there is a relationship between indiscipline and academic performance. However, the scarcity of studies that focus the relationship between the previous subjects and the disciplinary actions taking place does not help the finding of new strategies to promote academic achievement. Therefore, the main objetive was to determine if there was a relationship between indiscipline, disciplinary measures and academic achievement and the impact to the reality of Madeira Autonomous Region. The sample consisted in 396 subjects, 71% males and 29% females, ages 9 to 17, all included in the project “Capacitação de Alunos da RAM” being developed by the region educational services. Results showed that, for the gender variable, there are statistically significant differences; boys revealed greater indiscipline than girls, as well as school underachievement. Regarding the age variable, there were higher levels of indiscipline in older students. Finally, the data showed that there were significant relationships between the three main variables of the study, and the number of disciplinary participations and unjustified absences are significant predictors of academic performance decline.
