Abstract Cognitive profile of students with low intellectual performance. Associations between intelligence and creativity. Summary: Students with low intellectual performance are characterized by presenting alterations in different areas of cognitive, academic and behavioral functioning, which is why it is essential to know their cognitive profiles to make curricular adjustments and achieve better development in the individual. Based on the above, the objective of this article was to identify if there is a relationship between the levels of intelligence and creativity in a group of students with low intellectual performance, based on a psychopedagogical evaluation that helps determine their educational needs. This is a quantitative and correlational research. 23 students participated (M age 9.04, SD = 1.51) from three public primary schools located in Tlaxcala, Mexico, who were referred by their teachers to a psycho-pedagogical evaluation during the 2022-2023 school year. The Raven Colored Form Progressive Matrices Test, Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children WISC-IV and the Creative Thinking Test Figural Version A were applied. The results found that the Raven test correlated with the titles dimension of the creativity test (rs = .462*, sig = .027), it was also observed that perceptual reasoning evaluated with the WISC-IV was associated with total creativity (rs = .498*, sig = .016) and with the fluency indicator (rs = .482*, sig = .020). The results found that the Raven test correlated with the titles dimension of the creativity test (rs = .462*, sig = .027), it was also observed that perceptual reasoning evaluated with the WISC-IV was associated with total creativity (rs = .498*, sig = .016) and with the fluency indicator (rs = .482*, sig = .020). The previous results allow us to recognize the cognitive profile of the students and serve as a basis for intervention proposals within the classroom.
Resumen El estudiantado con bajo rendimiento intelectual se caracteriza por presentar alteraciones en distintas áreas del funcionamiento cognitivo, académico y conductual. Por ello es indispensable conocer los perfiles cognitivos para realizar las adecuaciones curriculares pertinentes y lograr un mejor desarrollo en la persona. Con base en lo anterior, el objetivo del presente artículo fue identificar si existía relación entre los niveles de inteligencia y creatividad en un grupo de estudiantes con bajo rendimiento intelectual a partir de una evaluación psicopedagógica que ayudara a determinar sus necesidades educativas. Se trató de una investigación cuantitativa y correlacional en la que participaron 23 estudiantes (M edad 9.04, D. E = 1.51) de tres escuelas primarias públicas de Tlaxcala, México, que fueron remitidos por sus docentes a una evaluación psicopedagógica durante el ciclo escolar 2022-2023. Se aplicaron el Test de Matrices Progresivas de Raven Forma Coloreada, Escala Wechsler de Inteligencia para Niños WISC-IV y la Prueba de Pensamiento Creativo Versión Figural A. En los resultados se encontró que la prueba Raven correlacionó con la dimensión de títulos de la prueba de creatividad (rs = .462*, sig = .027), también se observó que el razonamiento perceptual evaluado con el WISC-IV se asoció con la creatividad total (rs = .498*, sig = .016) y con el indicador de fluidez (rs = .482*, sig = .020). Los resultados anteriores permitieron reconocer el perfil cognitivo del estudiantado y constituyeron la base para las propuestas de intervención dentro del aula de clase.
