Abstract

Impulsar el talento es muy importante en educación básica porque en esa etapa los niños están en formación y necesitan ser estimulados para desarrollar al máximo sus capacidades y con ello aumentar el potencial de sus ingresos futuros individuales y familiares, así como el capital social de la comunidad. No obstante, los sistemas educativos, por lo regular, no atienden las diferencias en habilidades y ritmos de aprendizaje de los educandos. En 2007, el gobierno de la Ciudad de México implantó el Programa de Niñas y Niños Talento, que ofrece cursos extraescolares especializados en disciplinas de las áreas de las ciencias, las artes y el deporte, a estudiantes talentosos en escuelas públicas de educación básica de la ciudad. Este trabajo presenta los resultados de un análisis del impacto de dicho programa en el comportamiento socioafectivo y en las habilidades creativas de los educandos, realizado con la ayuda de un análisis econométrico, a partir de información proveniente de dos encuestas levantadas entre beneficiarios del programa en 2008 y 2010. Se concluye que el programa los ha impactado positivamente en ambos tipos de comportamiento, lo que sugiere un impacto positivo en su asociatividad, que es el elemento central del capital social de la comunidad./ As talented children in early stages of education are in a formative process, they must be stimulated to develop at their maximum capacity in order to increase their potential future incomes (for them and for their families) as well as their communities social capital. However, in less developed areas educational systems usually do not attend the students differences in talent and learning capabilities. In 2007, the government of Mexico City launched a program called Niñas y Niños Talento, with the purpose of offering additional specialized courses in disciplines from the areas of sciences, arts and sports to talented children enrolled in the city’s public schools of basic education (primary and lower secondary). This paper presents the results of an analysis of the impact of that program on the students’ socio-affective and creative behavior and capabilities, carried out with the help of econometric analysis, applied to data gathered from two surveys directed by the author among beneficiaries of the program in 2008 and 2010. It is concluded that the program has important positive effects on both types of students behavior which suggests a positive effect on the population’s associative behavior, which is the defining element of social capital.
