Abstract

GASPAROTTO, Guilherme da Silva et al. The self-concept of high school students related with academic performance: A systematic review. Rev. Port. de Educação [online]. 2018, vol.31, n.1, pp.21-37. ISSN 0871-9187.  https://doi.org/10.21814/rpe.13013.

The aim of the study was to systematically review the studies that analyzed the relationship between self-concept and academic achievement in high school students, as well as to verify which variables and contexts within the school were approached together with self-concept, to better explain this relationship. The review included studies published in the last ten years in the scientific electronic databases: ERIC/Thesaurus, MEDLINE/Pubmed, SportDiscus, SciELO and Web of Science. The descriptors that characterized the components of self-concept used were those of self, self-concept and self-psychology, and the descriptors related to academic achievement, academic achievement, underachievement, educational achievement, perception of competence, competence perception and self-efficacy. Ten studies were included in the review. The relationship between self-concept and academic performance was consistent and confirmed in nine of the ten papers. Other variables that were important in explaining the academic achievement were academic motivation, the practice of extracurricular activities, academic self-efficacy and parental involvement.

Keywords : Students; Self-psychology; Adolescent; Performance assessment.
