A investigação qualitativa tem ocupado
progressivamente um espaço no campo da investigação em
Psicologia, nomeadamente em Psicologia da Educação. Neste
trabalho ilustramos o recurso a esta metodologia no estudo da
excelência académica. Os participantes foram dois alunos (um
rapaz e uma rapariga) a frequentarem o 1º ciclo do ensino
superior português, considerados de mérito académico. Os dados
foram recolhidos através de entrevista semiestruturada e de
provas psicológicas para avaliar a criatividade (TTCT) e a
inteligência geral (D-48). Os resultados apontam para a
pertinência de fatores motivacionais e de personalidade na
justificação do desempenho académico elevado. Termina-se com
algumas reflexões e linhas orientadoras para a continuidade dos
estudos na área.
Qualitative research has progressively been used in Psychology, namely in Educational Psychology. In this paper it is presented the usefulness of this methodology in the study of academic excellence. Participants were two honours students (a man and a woman), who were enrolled in first cycle degrees in Portuguese higher education. Data were collected through semi sturctured interviews and psychological tests to assess creativity (TTCT) and general intelligence (D-48). The results point out the relevance of motivational and personality factors to high academic achievement. To conclude some reflexions and guidelines for further studies in this area are discussed.
