Children

Area of Science:

  • Educational Psychology
  • Developmental Psychology

Background:

  • Student self-perceptions of competence influence behavior and learning.
  • Accurate self-evaluation skills develop gradually in children.
  • Cognitive development is a potential factor in early self-appraisal accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate if higher cognitive development correlates with more accurate self-appraisal of competence in children.
  • To examine the relationship between cognitive development and self-perception accuracy in academic performance.

Main Methods:

  • Two studies involving elementary school children (grades 3-6).
  • Assessed self-perceptions of competence in reading and mathematics via questionnaires.
  • Measured academic performance using standardized tests and year-end grades.

  • Evaluated cognitive development using standardized IQ tests.

    • Main Results:

    • Study 1 (Reading): Higher correlation between self-perceptions and performance in high-ability children (grades 4-5), but no significant difference in grade 6.
    • Study 2 (Mathematics): Higher correlation in high IQ children (grade 3), with similar accuracy in grade 5.
    • Accuracy in self-appraisal is linked to cognitive development, not solely age or grade level.

    Conclusions:

    • Accurate self-perception development is influenced by cognitive development.
    • Cognitive maturity plays a role in how children assess their own competence.
    • Findings suggest cognitive factors are crucial for developing accurate self-evaluations in academic domains.
