NASCIMENTO, Sandra    PEIXOTO, Francisco. Relações entre o estatuto escolar e o autoconceito, auto-estima e orientações motivacionais em alunos do 9º ano de escolaridade. []. , 30, 4, pp.421-434. ISSN 0870-8231.

Research about underachievement show that school achievement relates significantly with variables such as motivation and self-concept. In this study we intend to analyze the relationships between academic status and self-concept, self-esteem and motivational orientations of 9th grade students, during the school year. For this, we carried out a longitudinal study with assessments at two different moments: at the beginning of the 2nd term and at the end of the 3rd term. Participants were 158 students that answer to a self-concept and self-esteem scale (Peixoto & Almeida, 1999) and to the Skaalvik’s scale of motivational orientations (Skaalvik, 1997; Peixoto, Mata, & Monteiro, 2008). Results show that academic status introduces differences in some dimensions of self-concept (Academic and Presentation Self-Concepts) and a marginal effect on self-esteem. Results also show differences in motivational orientations (Task and Avoidance Orientations), introduced by academic status.
