Abstract

This study investigated the educational and career experiences of former Australian Olympians after their participation in the International Mathematical Olympiad. For this purpose, 15 former Olympians were engaged in interviews about how they developed their mathematical talent at university, how they selected their careers, and how they developed their mathematical talent within their careers. Thematic analysis was undertaken on the collected data. The resulting themes provided useful insights into the reasoning behind the selection of one’s area of study, the nature of the study experience, the factors considered in the career decision, and the nature of mathematical development in one’s career. Among other conclusions, the study suggested the applicability of two theories (i.e., the theory of work adjustment and the megamodel of talent development) in understanding the educational/career decisions of this group, the need for more systematic gifted education provisions within tertiary settings, and a prominent “brain drain” effect.

国际数学奥林匹克之后:前澳大利亚奥林匹克选手的教育/职业决策与数学才能的发展
本研究调查了前澳大利亚奥林匹克选手在参加国际数学奥林匹克竞赛后的教育和职业经历。为此,15名前奥运选手接受了采访,内容包括他们在大学期间如何培养自己的数学天赋,他们如何选择自己的职业,以及他们如何在职业生涯中培养自己的数学天赋。对收集到的数据进行了专题分析。由此产生的主题为以下方面提供了有用的见解:一个人选择研究领域的原因、学习经历的性质、职业决策中考虑的因素以及职业生涯中数学发展的性质。在其他结论中,研究提出了两种理论(即工作调整理论和人才发展大模型)在理解这一群体的教育/职业决策方面的适用性,高等教育环境中需要更系统的资优教育规定,以及突出的“人才流失”效应。
