SALLES, Jerusa Fumagalli de  and  PARENTE, Maria Alice Mattos Pimenta. Relação entre desempenho infantil em linguagem escrita e percepção do professor. Cad. Pesqui. [online]. 2007, vol.37, n.132, pp.687-709. ISSN 0100-1574.

The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between the performance of 110 second-grade public school children in reading and writing words and texts and the teacher’s judgment of such skills. Significant correlations between students’ performance and teachers’ perception of these skills were found. The teacher’s assessment of students’ reading competence at the end of the academic year proved to be a crucial factor in establishing the differences of students’ performance. Although some positive correlations were found, there were some discrepancies between the teacher’s judgment and the evaluations. The study suggests that the teacher has the knowledge that enables him/her to rate the reading and writing skills of his/her students in a way that is related to students’ performance, from the point of view of an evaluation based on cognitive psychology.
