This research’s main objective was to investigate the evidence of validity based on the relationship with other variables of the Learning Strategies Assessment Scale for Vocational Education. The sample study was 401 Brazilian students. Learning strategies were associated with achievement goals at a correlational and predictive level. The secondary objective was to analyze the differences in both constructs regarding age, pause in studies, and the number of modules taken. Older students differed from younger students in the absence of dysfunctional metacognitive strategies and cognitive strategies. We identified the performance-approach goal in the younger students and those who took an intermediate break from studies. We recommend further research on this topic.

Background: the Bender test, developed by Lauretta Bender, is intended to evaluate children’s perceptual maturity. Because the instrument lacks a standardized correction system, other researchers have designed different systems for this purpose at distinct periods. Objective: for the present research, we reviewed articles that included the Bender test to identify the most widely used correction systems. Method: eligibility criteria included the instrument application in children up to 10 years of age, focusing on evaluating cognitive aspects. Searches were carried out through the CAPES periodicals portal, which covers both Brazilian and international databases. Results: at the end of the search, 72 published articles were selected and analyzed in their entirety. The four most widely used correction systems were the Koppitz System, Gradual Scoring System, Qualitative Classification Syst...
