Autorregulação da aprendizagem em crianças no contexto da violência intrafamiliar

Abstract

Recent research indicates that violence against children significantly affects the neurobiological and psychological balance of victims, especially when those who practice it are those people who should protect them. However, little is known about its impact on self-regulation of learning, whose mastery can lead to academic and professional success. The main objective of this research was to compare two groups of child victims and non-victims of domestic violence with regard to self-regulation of learning (SRL). As specific objectives, we tried to develop an adequate measure with good psychometric parameters to evaluate SRL, as well as to verify if there are differences between victims and non-victims of violence. A convenience (non-probabilistic) sample of 220 children and adolescents from João Pessoa-PB, ages 9 to 14, participated in this study. Of these, 20 were victims of violence and lived in temporary shelters. For the analysis of the data, the software Factor (10.3.01) and SPSS (20.0) were used, being the first one used to carry out Principal Component Analysis and internal consistency analysis and the second one for descriptive analyzes. Regarding the results, it was possible to verify that the developed instrument presents good psychometric parameters, being the same valid and precise, that can be used to evaluate the self-regulation of learning in children both for research purposes and for diagnostic purposes. Regarding the main objective, the findings corroborated the hypothesis that there would be differences between children victims and non-victims regarding SRL, the first being less self-regulated in their learning. Differences were also observed in relation to gender, which had not been foreseen initially. From the results found, it is hoped to favor interventions in the teaching-learning process of children who experience problematic domestic violence.
