Scientific production in psychological evaluation in the school/educational context

Abstract

The present study investigated the scientific production in psychological evaluation in the school / educational context between 2005 and 2015. We analyzed 94 articles from 11 scientific journals classified as A1 and A2. The results showed that the journals Psico-USF, Psychology: Reflection and Criticism, and Brazilian Journal of Professional Orientation, stood out. Researches developed in partnership and, by both sexes, were the most frequent, as well as the thematic psychometric properties / instrument construction. It had also observed that 36.6% of the work involved up to 200 participants and that the studies had carried out predominantly with Higher Education and based on psychometric / factorial type evaluations. The articles used a great variability of techniques in the evaluations carried out, and the most used instrument was the Professional Counseling Scale (EAP).
