Les
perceptions d'un élève au développement typique de ses propres
capacités (concept de soi académique), sont prédictives de la réussite
scolaire ultérieure.
On sait peu de choses sur le concept de soi académique chez les jeunes avec un diagnostic de "troubles du spectre de l'autisme" (TSA). Pour
comprendre si le concept de soi en maths et en lecture prédisaient leur performance, 44 enfants d'âge scolaire et adolescents
avec un diagnostic de TSA et 36 personnes avec un développement typique (TYP) ont
évalué leurs compétences en mathématiques et en lecture et ont obtenu
des résultats standardisés.
Les
résultats ont montré que le concept de soi était prédictif de la
performance en mathématiques et en lecture dans le groupe TYP. Pour les jeunes avec un diagnostic de TSA, il y avait concordance entre le concept de soi et la performance uniquement en mathématiques.
Ces résultats suggèrent que les éducateurs devraient être prudents
lorsqu'ils interprètent les auto-évaluations de la capacité de lecture
chez les élèves avec un diagnostic de TSA.

Abstract
A
typically developing student's perceptions of his or her own
capabilities (academic self-concept), is predictive of later academic
achievement. However, little is known about academic self-concept in
youth with autism spectrum disorder
(ASD). To understand whether students math self-concept and reading
self-concept predicted their performance, 44 school-aged children and
adolescents with ASD and 36 age-matched individuals with typical
development (TYP) rated their perceived math and reading abilities and
were administered standardized achievement measures. Results showed
self-concept was predictive of performance in math and reading in the
TYP group. For youth with ASD, there was agreement between self-concept
and performance only in math. These findings suggest that educators
should be cautious when interpreting the self-assessments of reading
ability in students with ASD.
