Resumen

La monitorización del propio rendimiento es un proceso metacognitivo significativo en el aprendizaje de los alum­nos, que les ayuda a ajustar su rendimiento en las tareas que están realizando. Sin embargo, hasta la fecha son es­casos los estudios que evalúan estos procesos en niños/as de primaria, más concretamente en tareas espaciales. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar los juicios de confianza y el índice de calibración en dos tareas de rotación mental considerando el nivel de dificultad. Un total de 40 alum­nos/as de sexto curso con edades comprendidas entre 11 y 12 años evaluaron la confianza de sus respuestas ítem por ítem aplicando una escala de 5 puntos en dos tareas de ro­tación mental diferentes (con dificultad alta y baja). Se cal­culó también un índice de calibración (Brier Score) para cada tarea. Los resultados indicaron niveles similares de juicios de confianza en tareas espaciales de dificultad va­riable donde la calibración fue diferente, teniendo los/as estudiantes más precisión en la prueba fácil en compara­ción con la difícil. Estas evidencias se discuten resaltando la importancia de la monitorización del propio rendi­miento espacial fortaleciendo el desarrollo de estrategias que puedan regular el rendimiento en esta etapa en este tipo de tareas espaciales
