... Because student´s ALS involves a complex multifactorial process of experiences (personal, affective, cognitive aspects and institutional features and facilities), it is difficult to limit and identify the ALS´s construct components [3]. Hence, there is no consensus about to how to measure the students´ ALS accurately [9,12]. However, understanding the underlying dimensions of student´s ALS as well the factors that contribute to student's satisfaction has a great potential benefit for institutions, students and society [8]. ...
... Na Tabela, ainda, pode-se visualizar que o pior desempenho é apresentado pelos motoristas do grupo infrator com ensino fundamental , cuja média de NOR pode ser classificada como percentil 5, considerado como nível de oscilação muito alto, indicando grandes variações no ritmo de trabalho. O terceiro construto investigado, a inteligência, justifica-se perante a constatação de que ele pode exercer influência bastante importante no envolvimento em acidentes, visto que ocupa, na maior parte das vezes, um papel central na avaliação dos candidatos a obter ou renovar sua CNH, diante do fato de que os dados têm indicado uma relação entre inteligência e conhecimento de comportamentos relacionados ao ato de conduzir um veículo automotor (Sisto, Ferreira, & Matos, 2006). Segundo Sisto, Bartolomeu e Fernandes (2005), a maior parte dos estudos tem demonstrado uma relação entre uma inteligência pobre e maior envolvimento em acidentes de trânsito, bem como maiores dificuldades em aprender a dirigir e no próprio ato de dirigir. ...

In Brazil, this system had also been widely applied in the evaluation of children, until some studies showed its fragility in evaluating perceptual-motor maturity, as well as the absence of predictive validity evidence for school performance and low discrimination by age group (Bartholomeu et al., 2005;Sisto et al., 2004a;Sisto et al., 2004b). ...
... Apesar dos resultados consistentes, a natureza da relação entre essas variáveis ainda não foi totalmente esclarecida. É possível que alunos com baixo desempenho sejam mais frequentemente rejeitados por seus pares (Pacheco & Sisto, 2005). Nesse caso, a relação entre essas variáveis poderia ser incidental, no sentido de que ambos derivariam de desvios ou desordens no processo de desenvolvimento do aluno (DeRosier & Lloyd, 2011). ...
... Esta habilidade atua em função da identi cação de vocábulos por meio da familiaridade semântica com o conhecimento e experiências prévias do aluno. Quando bem desenvolvida, o reconhecimento de palavras favorece a realização de tarefas de combinação e de discriminação de sílabas que possuem gra as semelhantes (SISTO, 2006;MACHADO, 2007). ...
... Koppitz corrected Bender figures from errors of rotation, perseveration, integration, and distortion of the form, and points were given only when some of the criteria were met. In Brazil, this system had also been widely applied in the evaluation of children, until some studies showed its fragility in evaluating perceptual-motor maturity, as well as the absence of predictive validity evidence for school performance and low discrimination by age group (Bartholomeu et al., 2005;Sisto et al., 2004a;Sisto et al., 2004b). ...
... El cuadro se agrava cuando se continúa asumiendo la vigencia de las evidencias de validez y de confiabilidad aportadas por los trabajos originales, publicados hace más de 40 años en países extranjeros. Investigaciones más recientes han informado resultados controversiales en cuanto a la correlación entre el desempeño en la escala y otras medidas de la inteligencia obtenidas a tra vés de las Matrices Progresivas de Raven, el WISC III y la Escala Stanford -Binet (Abell, Horkheimer & Nguyen, 1998;Abel, Wood & Liebman, 2001;Kamphaus & Pleiss, 1991;Marín Rueda & Sisto, 2006). Estas investigaciones reportaron correlaciones que variaron entre .36 ...
... A literatura científica brasileira oferece evidências de associação entre autopercepções e desempenho escolar em alunos do ensino fundamental (Carneiro, Martinelli & Sisto, 2003;Cia & Barham, 2009;Cunha, Sisto & Machado, 2006Jacob, 2001;Moraes & Cunha, 2007;Silva & Alencar, 1984;Souza & Brito, 2008). Os resultados nem sempre são comparáveis, devido à adoção de diferentes conjuntos de domínios e instrumentos. ...
... Nesse sentido, parece adequado e desejável investigar as FM em outros contextos. O TEPIC-M é um teste recentemente construído, e suas propriedades psicométricas vêm sendo determinadas ao longo de vários estudos (Rueda, 2006(Rueda, , 2009Rueda, Cecilio-Fernandes, & Sisto, 2008;Rueda, Sisto, Cunha, Machado, Morais, et al., 2007). Todavia, há uma única pesquisa feita até o presente sobre a ocorrência de FM nesse teste (Cunha, Sisto, & Machado, 2010). ...

... Assim, pode-se afirmar que o meio se assume como um dos fatores essenciais no resultado dos traços de personalidade, pois, à imagem da personalidade, também estes são caraterísticas relativamente estáveis de sentir, pensar e atuar, existindo contudo a possibilidade de mudança, resultado da interação com o meio social (Sisto & Oliveira, 2007). ...
