Resumen

La elección de carrera en estudiantes con alta capacidad (AC) no está exenta de dificultades. En STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) las mujeres con AC no eligen dichas áreas en la misma proporción que los hombres. Se buscó entender cómo los factores contextuales influyen en las decisiones académicas. Es un estudio cualitativo donde se realizaron ocho focus group de estudiantes con AC e intereses en STEM. Los resultados muestran a los padres como modelos; sin embargo, el mensaje paterno puede ser amenazante para las mujeres. Los profesores inspiran y entregan orientaciones claras basadas en las habilidades más que desde un desafío real. Las actividades escolares permiten una experiencia directa con la disciplina, pero producen poca vinculación con reales áreas de interés.

Exploração de decisões acadêmicas em estudantes de alta capacidade

A escolha da carreira de alunos superdotados não está livre de dificuldades. No tocante à STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics), as mulheres superdotadas não escolhem tais áreas na mesma proporção que os homens. Tentou-se entender de que maneira os fatores contextuais influenciam as decisões acadêmicas. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo no qual foram realizados oito focus groups de alunos superdotados e com interesses em STEM. Os resultados mostram os pais como modelos; no entanto, a mensagem paterna pode ser ameaçadora para as mulheres. Os professores inspiram e transmitem orientações claras baseadas mais em habilidades que em um desafio real. As atividades escolares permitem uma experiência direta com a disciplina, porém produzem pouca ligação com áreas reais de interesse.

Exploration of the academic decisions of highly able students

The choice of career for students with high ability (HA) is not without its difficulties. In STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics), women with HA do not choose such areas in the same proportion as men. We sought to understand how contextual factors influence the academic decisions of HA students. In this qualitative study, eight focus groups with students with HA and interests in STEM were conducted. The results show parents as role models; however, fathers’ messages can be threatening for female students. Results also show that teachers inspire and provide clear guidance based on skills, rather than on real challenge, and that school activities allow direct experience of discipline, but produce little linkage to real areas of interest.

Exploration des decisions academiques chez les etudiants a haute capacite

Le choix de la carrière des elèves à haut potentiel n’est pas libre de difficultés. En ce qui concerne STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) les femmes à haut potentiel ne choisissent pas tels domaines dans la même proportion que les hommes. On a essayé de comprendre de quelle manière les facteurs du contexte influencent les décisions académiques. Il s’agit d’une étude qualitative pour laquelle on été réalisés huit focus groups d’élèves à haut potentiel intéressés à STEM. Les résultats montrent les parents comme modèle, pourtant le message paternel peut être menaçant pour les femmes. Les enseignants inspirent et transmettent des orientations claires basées plus dans des habilités que dans des défis réels. Les activités scolaires permettent une expérience directe avec la discipline, cependant elles produisent peu de liens avec les vrais domaines d’intérêt.
