Özet:

 


The association between social competence and academic achievement has been broadly supported. This
paper is guided by the theoretical model of social competence of Vaughn and Hogan (1990) and tries to
explore the relation between social competence and academic competence along schooling. The results
presented are from a longitudinal study with four data collection moments. Participants were 240 students
from primary school (3rd and 4th grades). The main goal is to understand the reciprocal relations between
academic competence and social competence along these two school years. We are particularly interested in
tracing the achievement trajectories of low, average and high achievers, and its effects on social competence.
Data was analyzed using HLM6.0. In general, the results confirm the correlation between social competence
and academic competence and establish that academic competence is a good predictor of social competence.
Moreover, the social competence trajectories of average and high achievers seem to be stable along time,
however, the low achievers’ social competence significantly increases along time.
