| Resumo: | The present world increasingly requires creative problem solving skills. In the educational context, several interventions have been done in order to promote such competences in young people. Authors describe two studies on a training program of creative skills internationally applied with particular reference to students with high capacities (The Future Problem Solving Program International). The first study illustrates the process of creating a scale to assess the perceptions of the effectiveness of this program, regarding young participants (238) and mentors (128). A single factor scale was obtained with good psychometric characteristics. In the second study the perceptions of mentors and young participants from Portugal and from the United States were assessed with the obtained scale and compared. The sample was composed by a total of 576 participants and there were no statistically significant differences between those perceptions. Results from both studies are discussed either in terms of literature context or in view of further research of controlled evaluation of intervention experiences using this or other programs. |
