Abstract

Introduction : Academic performance (AP) is a relevant subject in educational research, but its operationalization is still subject to controversy since there is no unified opinion on considering weighted average (WA) or test performance (TP) as a measure of ap in research, especially with situation-dependent constructs such as test anxiety (TA). Objective : The objective was to analyze empirical equivalence between WA and TP. Method : 115 psychology students from a private university with ages between 18 and 31 (M = 22,704; SD = 3,126) belonging to three different academic cycles participated. They were evaluated with the State-Test Anxiety Inventory, also considering test scores and weighted averages of each student. Regarding data analysis, bivariate correlations between tp and wa (rTP-WA) were implemented. Subsequently, the rTP-WA observed in different cycles were compared. Finally, we analyzed differences between ta-tp (rTA-TP) and TA-WA (rTA-WA) correlations observed in each cycle. All analyses were complemented with a magnitude measure of the effect. Results : The correlation between TP and WA is of low magnitude, and the differences found between correlations were not statistically significant. Conclusions : It is not convenient to consider TP and WA as equivalent in the context of studies with situation-dependent variables. The importance of overcoming the limitations observed in this study was suggested.

考试成绩还是整体成绩?关于在研究中衡量学业成绩的一些问题
导读:学业成绩(AP)是教育研究中的一个相关课题,但由于在研究中是否将加权平均(WA)或考试成绩(TP)作为AP的衡量标准尚无统一的意见,特别是在考试焦虑(TA)等情境依赖结构中,AP的运作仍然存在争议。目的:分析WA与TP的经验等价性。方法:某私立大学心理学专业学生115名,年龄18 ~ 31岁(M = 22,704;SD = 3126),属于三个不同的学术周期。他们用州-考试焦虑量表(State-Test Anxiety Inventory)进行评估,也考虑了每个学生的考试成绩和加权平均值。在数据分析方面,对tp和wa进行了双变量相关性分析(rTP-WA)。随后比较不同周期rTP-WA的变化。最后,我们分析了每个周期观察到的ta-tp (rTA-TP)和TA-WA (rTA-WA)相关性的差异。所有的分析都补充了对影响程度的测量。结果:TP与WA相关性较低,相关性间差异无统计学意义。结论:在有情境相关变量的研究中,将TP和WA等同看待是不方便的。提出了克服本研究中观察到的局限性的重要性。
