Desempenho escolar : uma reflexão em torno das estratégias adoptadas pelo aluno face ao fracasso escolar

Abstract

This work aims to study the determinants of school performance of the students, to understand what they do in relation to the school difficulties that face. With this, we want to first identify the school difficulties that students then have to identify the strategies they adopt in the face of these difficulties and, therefore, Finally, analyze the extent to which these strategies can influence the direction of performance school level. Thirty students from two different schools participated in the research, 17 from the Secondary School of the Green Zone and 13 of the Secondary School of Infulene. To beyond these, five teachers from the Secondary School of Infulene also participated. Data collection it was through direct contact with interlocutors in schools. Thus, by conducting this research, we investigate how the strategies adopted by the student can influence their school performance. For this purpose, we carry out bibliographic research with the intention of enriching our understanding of our object of study and to know the points of view of several authors on this theme. For in addition, these surveys were combined with a field survey, having been used semi-structured interview as a technique for gathering information. According to the results of the work, it was possible to conclude that: (1) the attitudes, that is, the strategies that students undertake in the face of school difficulties that they present are a strong ally for school success, and these can influence the school's performance student to a large extent; students who prefer to adopt strategies present a successful school performance; (2) there are differences in the way in which students adopt strategies, with some adopting them with more interest than the others, and for this reason, their school performance is presented in different ways. Students who choose to adopt strategies against school failure and the difficulty of understanding of certain contents taught in some subjects, most of which are who have shown positive school performance, that is, they have school success. Nevertheless, we note the existence of students who do not adopt strategies in the face of failure school, of these, the few who adopt them, do so in a very superficial way, not giving due dedication and interest, thus contributing to school failure.
