- Repercussões das atividades domésticas e de lazer no rendimento escolar dos adolescentesPublication . Pestana, Leonor; Duarte, João; Coutinho, Emília; Chaves, Cláudia; Nelas, Paula; Amaral, OdeteAbstract: Background: The academic performance of adolescents is determined by variables related to domestic and leisure activities. Objective: To identify variables related to domestic and leisure activities that influence the academic performance of adolescents. Methodology: Observational quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional, descriptive and correlational, explanatory and retrospective study, using a non-probabilistic sample intended for convenience, consisting of 380 adolescents with an average age of 13.5 years (± SD 1:56). Results: Adolescents who collaborate with the family in household activities show better academic performance (p = 0.014). The daily time engaged in leisure activities, as computer use (p = 0.05), video watching (p = 0.021) and the use of games on PC or game consoles (p = 0.011), if over an hour, has negative repercussions on the academic performance of adolescents. Conclusion: Domestic activities positively influence the adolescents school performance, while leisure activities like computer use, watching videos and playing games on computers or game consoles have a negative impact, when occupying more than one hour per day.
