Abstract

The present work aims to investigate the secondary students’ calibration and causal attributions of the inaccuracy of their self-reported grades in a real context. The relationship between calibration and both academic performance and motivation will be explored. A sample of 93 students was used in the investigation. In order to collect students’ self-reported grades about their performance four tests and a set of self-reports were used. The descriptive analysis showed that secondary students tend to overestimate their grades. Calibration variables correlate negatively with academic performance. Differential analyses have shown the influence of self-efficacy in the calibration results. Depending on academic performance and the instant the data was collected, students invoke different causal attributions to explain their lack of accuracy in their predictions.
