Acolhimento residencial: a importância dos contextos escolar e do acolhimento no desempenho escolar

Abstract

O desempenho escolar de crianças inseridas em respostas de acolhimento residencial tem sido caracterizado pelo insucesso (Mitic & Rimer, 2002; Fantuzzo & Perlamn, 2007; Tideman, Vinnerljung, Hintze & Aldernius Isaksson, 2011). Para compreender as causas deste insucesso, neste trabalho analisou-se a influência de factores relativos ao acolhimento e do contexto escolar no desempenho escolar, mais concretamente, o sexo, a idade, o tempo e números dos acolhimentos, a existência de mudança de escola e apoio escolar individualizado. A amostra foi constituída por jovens inseridos em instituições de acolhimento (n = 70), retirados do projecto de investigação intitulado ‘’As imagens dos jovens institucionalizados e o seu impacto nas suas auto-representações e bem-estar’’ (Referência: PTDC/ MHC-PSC/4122/2012) o qual teve como intuito explorar a auto-representação de jovens em acolhimento institucional, através do estudo de questões como a sua imagem social, de que forma as suas auto-representações são construídas e quais as implicações destas para o seu bem-estar e saúde psicológica. Os resultados sugerem que quanto mais idade e o facto de pertencer ao sexo masculino pior o desempenho escolar. Um maior período de tempo em acolhimento, bem como mais acolhimentos experienciados sugerem um melhor desempenho escolar. A mudança de escola após entrada na instituição de acolhimento e a existência de apoio escolar individualizado não apresentaram qualquer efeito neste desempenho.

School performance of children placed in foster care has been characterized by failure (Mitic & Rimer, 2002; Fatuzzo & Perlamn, 2007; Tideman, Vinnerljung, Hintze & Aldernius Isaksson, 2011). In order to understand this poor academic achievement, in this paper we analyzed the influence of factors related to foster care and school context, specifically the age, sex, time and numbers of institutionalizations, school changes and individual school support. The sample consisted on young placed in foster care (n = 70), retrieved from the research project ‘’Images of institutionalized youth and its impact on their self-representations and wellness’’ (Reference: PTDC/ MHC-PSC/4122/2012), which intended to analyze self-representation of young people in foster care by studying issues such as their social image, how their self-representations are built and what the implications of these ones for their well-being and psychological health. The results suggest that the older youth and males had worse academic achievement. Longer periods of time in foster care as well the numbers of moves during the foster care experience, improves school performance. Change of school after entering the foster care and the existence of individualized school support showed no effect on this performance.
