Abstract

Las fortalezas y virtudes se definen como características positivas que tienen un valor moral.El objetivo fue indagar la concepción de los estudiantes de la Secundaria Técnica Integrada sobre las fortalezas y virtudes, si existe diferencia entre la concepción entre los estudiantes femeninos y masculinos, cómo entienden el papel de las fortalezas y virtudes en la elección y desempeño de las futura profesión técnica y si la percepción del concepto difiere de la literatura. Participaron 21 alumnos, 10 niñas y 11 niños del primer año de diferentes cursos de una institución educativa pública brasileña. Se realizaron dos grupos focales en fechas diferentes. Los resultados mostraron que las concepciones traídas por los estudiantes están relacionadas con características responsables de promover metas personales y académicas para situaciones actuales y futuras y los estudiantes varones relacionan las fortalezas y virtudes con su futuro profesional. La investigación prospectiva puede investigar el impacto de las fortalezas y virtudes con construcciones relacionadas con el concepto investigado en el presente estudio.
