A perceção de competência (PC) tem-se mostrado como uma variável importante na compreensão do desempenho dos alunos na matemática. Desenvolvemos dois estudos (E1, E2) cujos objetivos foram: 1) analisar as caraterísticas psicométricas da Escala de PC na Matemática (EPCM) para o 1.º ciclo do Ensino Básico (E1); e 2) analisar um modelo explicativo da relação entre PC e desempenho e comparar médias segundo o género (E2). No E1 participaram 361 alunos do 3.º e 4.º ano (52.4% rapazes). Recorreu-se à análise fatorial confirmatória para examinar a estrutura da EPCM e a invariância de género. No E2 participaram 79 alunos do 3.º ano (55.7% rapazes). O desempenho foi calculado recorrendo à avaliação dos professores e classificações de um teste. Para testar a relação entre a PC e o desempenho recorreu-se à análise de equações estruturais. Os resultados indicaram que a EPCM apresenta boas caraterísticas psicométricas e invariância de género. Constatou-se ainda a existência de uma relação significativa entre a PC e o desempenho na matemática. Diferenças na PC foram observadas em ambos os estudos, com as raparigas evidenciando menor PC, apesar de o seu desempenho ser semelhante. Os resultados indicaram que as diferenças de género, identificadas em estudos prévios com adolescentes, surgem precocemente na escolaridade. Palavras-chave: Perceção de competência; Desempenho académico; Matemática; Ensino básico; Género, Perceived competence (PC) has been an important issue in understanding students' achievement in mathematics. We developed two studies (E1, E2), whose objectives were: 1) to analyze the psychometric characteristics of the PC in Mathematics Scale (EPCM) for elementary students (E1); 2) to analyze an explanatory model of the relation between PC and achievement and to compare averages according to gender (E2). E1 enrolled 361 third and fourth grade students (52.4% boys). We used confirmatory factor analysis to examine the EPCM structure and gender invariance. In E2, 79 students from the third grade (55.7% boys) participated. Achievement was calculated using teacher reports and test scores. To test the relationship between PC and performance, we used structural equation modeling. The results indicated that the EPCM presents good psychometric characteristics and gender invariance. We also found a significant relationship between PC and students’ math achievement. Differences in PC were observed in both studies, with girls showing lower CP than boys, despite their performance being similar. The results indicate that gender differences, identified in previous studies with adolescents, appear early in schooling. Keywords: Perceived competence; Academic achievement; Mathematics; Elementary school; Gender, La percepción de competencias (PC) es una variable importante para la comprensión del rendimiento escolar de los alumnos en matemática. Desarrollamos dos estudios (E1, E2) cuyos objetivos fueron: 1) analizar las características psicométricas de la Escala de PC en Matemática (EPCM) para el 1.º ciclo de Educación Básica (E1); e 2) analizar un modelo explicativo de la relación entre PC y rendimiento y comparar medias según género (E2). En el E1 participaron 361 alumnos de 3.º y 4.º grado (52.4% masculino). Se realizó un análisis factorial confirmatorio para examinar la estructura de la EPCM y la invariancia de género. En el E2 participaron 79 alumnos de 3.º grado (55.7% masculino). El rendimiento fue calculado utilizando las notas de los profesores y de una prueba. La relación entre la PC y el rendimiento académico fue evaluada utilizando análisis de ecuaciones estructurales. Los resultados indican que la EPCM mostró buenas características psicométricas y invariancia de género. Además, se constató que existe una relación significativa entre PC y rendimiento matemático. Diferencias en la PC se observaron en ambos estudios, con las niñas mostrando menor PC, aunque su rendimiento fue semejante. Los resultados indican que las diferencias de género, identificadas en estudios previos con adolescentes, surgen precozmente en la escolaridad.

The main purposes of the current research were to translate and adapt the Achievement Emotions Questionnaire -- Elementary School (AEQ-ES) into Portuguese and to analyze its psychometric properties. A sample of 350 Portuguese third and fourth graders (aged 7 to 12 years) completed the Portuguese version of the AEQ-ES (AEQ-ES-P). As does the original version, the AEQ-ES-P measures students' enjoyment, boredom, and anxiety toward mathematics in three academic settings: attending class, doing homework, and taking tests. Confirmatory factor analysis corroborated the hierarchical structure of the AEQ-ES-P, which was also invariant across gender and grades. The instrument also showed good reliability and temporal stability. Significant correlations were found in the expected direction between enjoyment, anxiety, and boredom, as well as between these emotions, students' perceptions of competence, and intrinsic motivation toward mathematics, thus supporting the internal and external validity of the questionnaire. These results indicate that the AEQ-ES-P presents good psychometric properties and is suitable to measure the achievement emotions of Portuguese elementary-school children of the third and fourth grades in the domain of mathematics.

The Achievement Emotions Questionnaire (AEQ) is a self-report instrument developed to measure the emotions of students in academic situations. The main purpose of this research was to adapt and validate this questionnaire to assess pre-adolescents' class- and test-related emotions towards mathematics. The participants were 1515 Portuguese students from grades 5 and 7 (age range 10–13 years). Confirmatory factor analyses and descriptive statistics confirm the reliability and internal validity of the AEQ for Pre-Adolescents (AEQ-PA), providing evidence that the AEQ-PA is an effective instrument to assess pre-adolescent achievement emotions towards mathematics classes and tests.
