Programs designed for teachers’ training should prepare them to attend to the needs of talented/gifted students in their classrooms. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether future teachers had sufficient knowledge to attend the talented/gifted students. The sample consisted of 170 undergraduate students (145 women, 25 men), who were enrolled in teachers’ preparation courses in 2 private and 3 state universities in Brazil. A questionnaire with six open questions about talent/giftedness was administered in a group setting, and answers were classified by content analysis. The results indicated that teachers have several doubts about these concepts and question if they are responsible or the school administrators are responsible to attend to these students. In conclusion, future teachers are not receiving adequate preparation to guide talented/gifted students in thei...

Frente a la necesidad de herramientas psicológicas que evalúen el funcionamiento cognitivo de forma integrada, hemos investigado la validez de la Batería de Evaluación Intelectual y Creativa - Adulto (BAICA). Participaron 99 estudiantes (51 mujeres), con edades entre 15 y 17 años. La BAICA consta de cinco subpruebas cognitivas y una creativa. Las pruebas que se utilizaron como criterios externos fueron: Batería de Pruebas de Razonamiento (BPR-5), Prueba de Atención Dividida (TEADI) y Alternada (TEALT) y las Pruebas de Torrance. Los resultados mostraron correlaciones significativas (p≤.05) entre las subpruebas cognitivas de BAICA con las pruebas de inteligencia (.28 a .52) y creatividad (.26 a la .54). Se concluyó que la BAICA es una medida válida para evaluar la inteligencia y creatividad.

There is a current need for psychological tests that can assess cognitive functioning through an integrative perspective. The purpose of this study was to collect validity evidence of the adult version of the Battery of Intelligence and Creativity. The sample was composed of 99 students (51 female), with ages ranging between 15 and 17. The battery is composed of five cognitive tests and one creative test. The following tests were used as external criteria: The Reasoning Tests Battery 5; Divided and Alternating Attention Tests and Torrance Tests. The results indicated significant correlations (p≤.05) between the battery subtests with the intelligence criteria tests (.28 to .52) as well as creativity tests (.26 to .54). This battery was found to be a valid measure to evaluate intelligence and creativity.

The conception of creativity may be influenced by laypeople’s opinions and cultural contexts. This study aimed to replicate a study by Bass et al. (2015) with students from the Netherlands about the opinion of facilitating conditions of creativity among lay people, comparing them with Brazilian students. The Brazilian sample consisted of 296 undergraduate students (F = 83%), average age of 24,5 years (SD = 7.73) who did not have any creativity course. The study from the Netherlands consisted of 176 undergraduate students (F = 73.9%) with an average age of 20 years (SD = 5.0). The Brazilian participants answered a questionnaire designed to evaluate the same areas of the Dutch study on situations that favor creativity. The responses compared by t-Student and factor analysis showed differences between countries, with Brazilians giving greater importance to relaxing activities and tra...

La concepción de la creatividad puede estar influenciada por la opinión de los legos o gente común, y por los contextos culturales. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo replicar un estudio realizado por Bass et al. (2015) con estudiantes de los Países Bajos sobre la opinión de las condiciones facilitadoras de la creatividad entre la gente común, comparándolos con los estudiantes brasileños. La muestra brasileña consistió en 296 estudiantes de pregrado (Mujeres = 83%), con una edad promedio de 24 años (DE = 7.73) que no llevaron ningún curso sobre creatividad. En el estudio de los Países Bajos participaron 176 estudiantes de pregrado (Mujeres = 73.9%) con una edad promedio de 20 años (DE = 5.0). Los participantes brasileños respondieron un cuestionario diseñado para evaluar las mismas áreas del estudio neerlandés sobre situaciones que favorecen la creatividad. Las r...
