Diante da importância das funções executivas para o desempenho escolar, investigou-se a associação entre notas na disciplina de matemática e desempenho em funções executivas, conforme relato de pais e professores de alunos do 5º ano, nos instrumentos BRIEF e IFERA-I. Participaram do estudo pais/responsáveis e professores de 47 crianças, com idade entre 10 e 11 anos, de uma escola particular do estado de São Paulo. Houve correlação significativa entre notas na disciplina de matemática e avaliações de pais e professores no BRIEF e IFERA-I, sendo que o BRIEF apresentou maiores correlações que o IFERA-I. Respostas dos professores apresentaram correlações mais altas com desempenho matemático do que as dos pais em todas as escalas, exceto na organização de materiais do BRIEF, e os pais relataram mais dificuldades do que os professores. Os resultados corroboram a associação entre funções executivas e matemática, bem como a importância de múltiplos informantes na avaliação infantil. Palavras-chave: funções executivas; BRIEF; IFERA-I; matemática. ABSTRACT -Executive Functions: Correlation Between Two Inventories and Academic Performance in MathematicsConsidering the importance of executive functions for school performance, the present study investigated the association between grades in Mathematics and performance in executive functions, as reported by parents and teachers of 5th grade students, using the BRIEF and IFERA-I instruments. Participants were parents/guardians and teachers of 47 children, aged between 10 and 11 years, from a private school in the state of São Paulo. There was significant correlation between grades in Mathematics and the parents' and teachers' assessments in the BRIEF and IFERA-I, with the BRIEF presenting higher correlations than the IFERA-I. The teachers' responses showed higher negative correlations with mathematical achievement than those of the parents in all subscales, except in the organization of materials (BRIEF), and the parents reported more difficulties than the teachers. The results corroborate the association between executive functions and Mathematics, as well as the importance of multiple informants in child assessments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
