Based on a multidimensional definition of academic expectations (AEs), the authors examine students’ AE component scores across countries and genders. Two samples (343 Portuguese 358 Spanish students) completed Academic Perceptions Questionnaire (APQ) six months after enrolling in their universities. Factorial invariance was ensured genders, allowing us to study AEs using APQ for both genders countries. No significant differences factor means were found between countries, indicating that are...
This paper aims to test the psychometric validity and reliability of a measure first-year university students’ expectations, based on multidimensional conception expectations. The sample consisted 759 students, attending various academic degrees at Universities Vigo - Ourense University Minho. value Mdn age was 19, with only 5.3% ages above 23 years. Participants answered set 56 items seven different dimensions Results confirmatory factor analysis, were carried out LISREL. Factorial...

Com a expansão do acesso ao Ensino Superior, nas últimas décadas assistimos uma maior heterogeneidade de estudantes neste nível ensino. Uma das variáveis que importa considerar na análise dos perfis universitários são as suas expectativas académicas, vez mesmas estão associadas níveis diferentes envolvimento,permanência e sucesso escolar. Foi administrado um questionário amostra 717 1º ano, portugueses espanhóis, avaliando sete dimensões: i) Formação para o emprego carreira;ii)...
Background: Various investigations have revealed that the promotion of cognitive and metacognitive strategies can improve reading comprehension when readers receive this type instruction, they use monitoring processes regulation adequately.The goal work is to analyze effects strategic instruction on strategies, using "Aprender a Comprender" [Learning Understand] program.Method: Instruction was carried out in classroom by two teachers during six months.Ninety-four students participated, 49...
AbstractThe main goal of this investigation was to determine the influence family contextual variables on children's basic learning skills. Basic abilities tests for academic were administered a sample 447 children aged three, four, and five years in preschool education. The parents completed questionnaire, which collected data about structural context: structure, educational level, occupational activity, cultural resources available home, monthly income. Univariate analyses variance...
Background: Previous research point to a correlation between mathematical skills and cognitive processes involved in planning simultaneous processing. Consistent with multicomponent models of achievement (domain-general domain-specific skills), PASS theory appears be very useful as multifactorial framework that provides specific tests monitor the development competence direct intervention procedures improve skills. Objective: This study was conducted assess impact Math Modules Cognitive...
Abstract We examined the relationships among gender, planning, and academic expectations through testing of two alternative models with latent variables tested LISREL 8.80: one model considered planning as a mediator relationship between gender expectations, other mediators planning. Participants were 662 first-year higher-education students from years, predominantly female (60%) mainly majors in juridical-social field (66.2%). The Inventario sobre Estrategias Metacognitivas ( IEM ;...
This study analyzed the contribution of cognitive processes (planning, attention, simultaneous and successive processing) domain-specific skills (counting, number processing conceptual comprehension) to arithmetic performance achieved in last three grades (4th, 5th, 6th) elementary school. Three groups students with a different achievement level were characterized. The predictive value math specific are explored through diverse covariance discriminant analyses. Participants 110 (M = 10.5...
With this study, we aim to test the predictive relationships between determinants of major choice (DMC) and academic expectations (AEs) analyze gender differences, using six items Determinants Major Choice Scale Academic Perceptions Questionnaire assess AEs. A convenience sample Portuguese ( n = 839) Spanish 1,001) first-year students (age-range 17–23 years), mostly composed women (56.9%, 1,047), was selected from two public universities. The invariance multivariate regression model with...
