This study aimed to map the scientific literature on psychological evaluation in the educational context with an emphasis on socioemotional variables, from 2005 to 2013. There were 178 articles analyzed. In the results, there were publishing peaks in 2006 and 2009, and the vast majority of analyzed articles were published in Portuguese and written by two or three authors. In addition, the results also allowed the observation that the predominant sample population in these studies was primary school students, with 101-200 participants. In relation to keywords, Social Skills was the most common term, though the most common evaluation instruments assessed cognitive performance. These findings indicate the need for investment in evaluation research of socioemotional variables in the educational context, establishing their relation to performance and academic success. The limitations and future directions are discussed

Keywords : psychological assessment; academic performance; school psychology; social skills.
