O aluno superdotado: a importância da educação inclusiva no desenvolvimento de talentos

Abstract

Individuals with high abilities/giftedness have superior performance, compared to others, in one or more areas of knowledge. Abilities can be expressed in general intellectual capacity, academic aptitude, creativity, leadership capacity, talent for the arts and psychomotor capacity. However, something that has become very common is low academic performance among gifted individuals. Low performance is a complex and antagonistic phenomenon, highly controversial and still under discussion. What is known is that the fact that some gifted individuals do not demonstrate performance compatible with their high potential ends up frustrating parents, teachers and even the individual themselves. The school plays a key role in developing and welcoming these talents, so that it can contribute to the success and performance of their potential. Thus, the study aimed to analyze the impacts of inclusive educational practices on the development and success of students with high abilities and/or giftedness. To achieve this objective, the research comprised a narrative review of the literature by searching for publications, theses, dissertations and articles in the Google Scholar data search engine corresponding to the period from 2000 to 2023. The keywords were used to carry out the search: “practices educational”, “teaching practices”, “gifted students”, “high abilities”, “regular education”, “educational success”. After the search, publications were selected by summary, according to previously described eligibility criteria, which excluded review works that cover higher education. Once this was done, a thorough reading of those selected was carried out and the discussion on the topic was inferred.
