DESENVOLVIMENTO E AVALIAÇÃO DO APLICATIVO ESATE: ESCALA DE AUTOEFICÁCIA DE ESTUDO COM ORIENTAÇÃO DE APRENDIZAGEM E SUA RELAÇÃO COM O DESEMPENHO ESCOLAR

Abstract

School performance and its determinants have been the subject of many studies in the contemporary educational field. Indeed, knowing the aspects that affect students' learning results is essential for understanding low school performance and its repercussions. Deepening the studies on this topic where this research was conducted, a school failure rate above the national high school average published by INEP 2014-2018 was identified in technical courses integrated with high school. In order to understand more about the phenomenon found and supply the scarcity of instruments that help the identification of factors that affect school performance in the context of Professional and Technological Education, the ESATE (Self-efficacy Scale with Learning Orientation) mobile application for mobile devices was developed, presented as the educational product of this master’s thesis, a mandatory element of the Professional Master ProfEPT thesis. ESATE can be used by professionals in the field of education and by students who are interested in identifying its level of effectiveness in studies. This research aims to investigate whether an instrument of psychoeducational assessment and guidance can contribute to the understanding of the phenomenon of the high failure rate of students in integrated high school. This work is a case study, exploratory and documentary, with a mixed approach. It was held at IF Goiano – campus Morrinhos, with 46 students from the 2nd year of integrated high school. As a result, low school performance was found among students of integrated high school at the investigated educational institution between the years 2018 and 2019. Patterns of behavior were also identified for each of the nine ESATE evaluation subscales, demonstrating that it is capable of raising enough information to indicate reasons for the high school failure rate of the studied population and to assist in the implementation of actions to prevent and intervene in scenarios of low academic performance. ESATE has been validated by the participants as an educational product and is ready for use according to its User Manual.
