Contribuições do PIT - programa de incentivo ao talento no processo de aprendizagem e desenvolvimento de um aluno com altas habilidades

Abstract

This research is inserted in the Special Education Research Lineup from the Master Program of education at the Federal University of Santa Maria - UFSM. The interest in doing this work came from educational experiences lived in Extension Project "TIP Talent Incentive Program," that allowed me to observe, although informally, that the school did not have conditions to promote a process of education, with quality to high abitity students. Therefore, is really urgent to reflect and discuss the change of this process that happened at learning and development stages of students as a result of participation in the TIP. Thus, the theme is relevant and the interest in investigating the educational strategies undertaken in the TIP, contribute to the learning and development processes of a student with high abitity in the school s context? The goals that guide this research are: to establish relations between the educational strategies of TIP and those that occur in the context of the classroom; see how the educational strategies adopted in TIP contribute to the student prove their abitity in the classroom; identify teachers understanding about the contribution of the TIP in learning and development of the student in the school s context, and examine how the motivation and creativity of the student in the school s context relate to the activities proposed by TIP. The effectiveness of these goals required a direct contact with the school in which the student is enrolled. So this research sets itself as descriptive, qualitative analysis and framed in the profile of the characteristics of a Case Study. The instruments used to data collection were a semi-structured interview with the student s teachers and systematic observations made in the classroom regularly. It is important to emphasize that, recognition and attention up to students with higher abitity, through the adoption of specific educational strategies, are systematically supported, by the data obtained from this research, which showed that without a stimulus and appropriate educational strategies implemented in the school s programming, or in other spaces, as an example the programs of incentive, these students are subject to the risk of failure in school and have their claims its potential asleep. Therefore, the present investigation sought to contribute to undertake an attempt to clarify the issues relating to the theme of high abitity and processes of students learning and development, presenting the strategies undertaken in the educational TIP as an alternative to practical action that favors the potential s development of high skills students, which sometimes cannot express it and develop it fully in the school context.
