Abstract(s)
Os Testes de Pensamento Criativo de Torrance (TPCT) são o instrumento de avaliação
da criatividade mais conhecido e estudado em todo o mundo. Neste estudo pretendemos
analisar a validade de constructo de quatro subtestes do TPCT: as actividades verbais
4 e 5 e as actividades figurativas 2 e 3, considerando os resultados nos parâmetros
criativos de fluência, flexibilidade, originalidade e elaboração. A amostra é constituída
por 385 alunos a frequentarem o 5º e o 6º ano de escolaridade numa escola pública
do distrito de Braga. Aplicou-se, para efeitos de contraste, uma bateria de quatro provas
de raciocínio ou pensamento convergente (BPR-5/6). Os resultados das análises factoriais
exploratórias revelam uma saturação de factores por subteste, aparecendo apenas o
critério de elaboração diferenciado. Quando se cruzam os resultados nos subtestes de
criatividade e de raciocínio, a análise factorial identifica três factores, respectivamente,
para as componentes verbal e figurativa da criatividade, e para os testes de raciocínio.
The Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TTCT) are the evaluation instrument most known and studied over the world. In this study we want to analyze the construct validity of four TTCT subtests: the verbal activities 4 and 5, and the figural activities 4 and 5, attending the results on the creative parameters of fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. The sample has 385 students from 5th and 6th grades studying at a public school in Braga’s district. To analyze the contrast effects we used a four battery reasoning tests or convergent thinking (RTB-5/6). The results of the exploratory factor analysis show a factor saturation by subtest where only the elaboration criterion appears differentiated. When the results in the creativity subtests and in the reasoning tests are crossed the factor analysis shows three factors, one for the verbal component, other for the figural component, and another for the reasoning tests.
