SELF-PERCEPTION IN CHILDREN AND THE USE OF THE SPPC SCALE: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

Abstract

The perception that human beings have of themselves guides all stages of their development, including childhood. The aim of this article was to map the total or partial use of the “Self-perception Profile for Children” scale in the school context with children up to 13 years old around the world. A systematic literature review was carried out in four databases (Google Scholar, PubMed, SciELO and Pepsic) between the years 2016 and 2020, using the keywords “self-perception profile for children”, “self-concept”, “school” and its equivalents in Portuguese. The research also sought to investigate the impacts of the self-concept construct on the subjectivity production of the subject. The results indicated the majority use of the scale to assess variables related to motor and sports skills, but also showed a certain interest in building self-concept and its relation with parenting and racial identity.
