Abstract
El objetivo del presente trabajo es repensar, en el ámbito de la universidad, el concepto de genio en relación con las
altas capacidades asociadas con la inteligencia y vincularlo con las englobadas en la competencia emprendedora, como
el liderazgo o el compromiso social. Se fortalece la hipótesis de que un genio universitario es o puede serlo, por sus
altas capacidades creativas y, concretamente, emprendedoras. Metodológicamente se siguieron las recomendaciones de
la Asociación Norteamericana de Niños con Altas Capacidades, por lo que la recolección de las evidencias se basó en
prácticas, utilizando los resultados obtenidos en los dos trabajos de campo realizados: Uno con profesores y alumnos de
posgrado (de Argentina y España, de ciencias duras y blandas) que respondieron a un cuestionario conceptual, previamente
validado, con el fin de delinear unos mínimos comunes denominadores. El otro estudio consistió en analizar los resultados
de la implementación de un programa de aceleración de la competencia emprendedora con estudiantes universitarios de
Grado. Del cruce de los datos resultó la necesidad de idear una intervención educativa (itinerario) con trayectorias de
excelencia. Una en el Grado, con actuaciones formativas piloto (en la competencia emprendedora), experimentales, a
pequeña escala y limitadas en el tiempo; y la otra en el Posgrado, siendo los propios estudiantes los arquitectos de sus
«rutas», que a la vez que les permiten autoemplearse, les convierten en agentes de cambio socio-comunitario
The purpose of the present work is to rethink, in the university context, the concept of genius, related to the high intellectual abilities associated with intelligence; also, to connect the idea of entrepreneurial competences, such as leadership or social commitment. The hypothesis is that a university genius is defined by his high creative abilities and, in particular, entrepreneurial ones. From the methodological point of view, the recommendations of the National Association for Gifted Children were followed, and evidence collection was based on such practices, using the results obtained by two studies: the first one with professors and postgraduate students (from Argentina and Spain, from hard and soft sciences) who responded to a conceptual questionnaire, previously validated, in order to delineate common minimum denominators of geniuses. The other one comes from analyzing the results of an acceleration program of entrepreneurial competence with undergraduate students. Combining both data resulted in the need to think in an educational proposal (itinerary) with trajectories of excellence. One during the Degree level, with pilot training activities (in entrepreneurial competence), experimenting on a small scale; and the other in the Postgraduate level, encouraging them to be architects of their “routes”, allowing them to self-employ and to become agents of socio-community change
