Selected
Them/Eles - competência intelectual da criança/child’s intellectual competence
I believe that in the provided sentence, 'them' is referring to 'child’s intellectual competence.' The sentence is highlighting that the original investigative descriptions focus on the child’s intellectual competence, rather than on the procedures required to uncover it.
Em português seria dizer que o termo ´´eles`` se refere a ´´competência intelectual da criança``

O termo se refere às descrições investigativas.
Piaget usava vários procedimentos, vários testes envolvendo perguntas que ele fazia às crianças, para compreender através das respostas que estas crianças davam, seu funcionamento cognitivo. Eu creio que "investigative descriptions" seja uma descrição dos testes que ele fazia e o pronome "them' se refira a elas... Mas como não estou vendo o texto completo, não tenho certeza...

"them"
I believe "them" refers to "the twin problems". If not, then the correct word should be "it" instead of "them" referring to "the child’s intellectual competence"

In this case, a longer excerpt from the text would assist in a more accurate interpretation.

You use them instead of 'him or her' to refer to a person without saying whether that person is a man or a woman.
It takes great courage to face your child and tell them the truth.
