Desnutrição e baixo rendimento escolar: contribuições críticas Malnutrition and poor academic performance: critical contributions

Abstract

O ARTIGO traz algumas contribuições da psicologia às reflexões sobre desnutrição e baixo rendimento escolar, a partir da análise de certas afirmações acerca das causas e conseqüências da desnutrição para o desenvolvimento infantil e a escolarização das crianças de classes populares. Analisa as suposições de que o baixo rendimento escolar de grande parcela dos alunos no Brasil teria como uma das suas explicações principais a desnutrição atual ou pregressa, o que supostamente levaria a deficiências cognitivas e lingüísticas, prejudicando a aprendizagem. O artigo discute ainda as metodologias de investigação e as análises que resultaram nessas conclusões. Finalmente, traz resultados de pesquisa que mostram a necessidade de revisão desses pressupostos, os quais continuam a orientar políticas e práticas educacionais e de saúde, o que inviabiliza a solução dos problemas escolares.THIS ARTICLE rises some contributions from psychology to the reflections on malnutrition and low school performance, through an analysis of some statements on the causes and consequences of malnutrition to child development as well as schooling of lower classes children. It analyses the assumptions that low performance at school of a great number of students in Brazil would be explained by the presence of malnutrition, current or previous. It critically discusses the investigative methodologies and analysis which presented questionable conclusions that children who are victims of malnutrition suffer from cognitive and linguistic deficiencies. Finally, it provides survey results, showing the need of reviewing these assumptions, since they continue to guide policies and practices on education and health, rendering impossible the solutions to school problems.
