RESUMO
A auto-percepção de competência influencia o interesse e a persistência do aluno na concretização da aprendizagem. O objectivo deste estudo analisa a relação entre o desempenho dos alunos, as expectativas dos professores e a competência percebida pelos alunos. O estudo é descritivo e a amostra é constituída por 10 professores e 186 alunos da 6ª à 8ª série do ensino fundamental brasileiro. O desempenho dos alunos foi medido através de testes, e a percepção pessoal do aluno e as expectativas do professor foram obtidas através da técnica de auto-relato. As estatísticas descritiva e inferencial permitiram a análise da congruência entre as variáveis em estudo. A competência percebida pelos alunos tem forte associação positiva, tanto com o seu desempenho, como com as expectativas do professor. Há uma expressiva correspondência entre as expectativas dos professores e o desempenho dos alunos. Os resultados demonstram a necessidade de aprofundar o estudo das expectativas do professor e os seus efeitos sobre o comportamento de ensino e a representação de competência formulada pelos alunos.
Palavras-chave: auto-percepção de competência, educação física escolar, pensamento do aluno, expectativas do professor, ensino.

Pupil's self-perceived competence, teacher expectations, and academic performance: How do they relate in Physical Education?
Student's perceived competence influences interest and persistence in learning accomplishment. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationships among student performance, teachers' expectations and student's perceived competence. Having a descriptive approach, we sampled 10 teachers and 186 6nd to 8nd grade students of the Brazilian educational system. Student performance was measured through tests, and the student's personal perception and teacher's expectation were picked up through self-report measures. Descriptive and inferential statistics allowed the analysis of the congruence among the variables in study. Student's personal perception has strong association with student performance and teacher's expectations. The teacher's expectations corresponded meaningfully with the students' performance. The results demonstrate the need to deepen the study of the effects of teachers' expectations on the teaching behaviour and students' perceived competence.
Key Words: perceived competence, school physical education, pupil thinking, teacher’s expectations, teaching.
