Abstract

This research project is justified due to the sudden change in the school context of 2020, due to the pandemic, and aimed to analyze the perception of students with high skills/giftedness about the impact of the pandemic on their learning processes. The research had a qualitative, exploratory approach and was characterized as a case study. Six students already identified with AH/SD, from fundamental and middle schools, from a public school in the state of Paraná participated in the research. The choice of the school occurred after the participation of the teacher of the AH/SD room and the students, in the discipline "Specific topics of deepening directed to area I". Data were collected through interviews conducted on the Google Meet platform; being guided by a semi-structured script and, later, the literal transcriptions of the records were performed. Thus, it is concluded that at the beginning of the pandemic, most students faced organizational difficulties. However, they engaged in seeking ways to solve these problems and, at that time learning was directly linked to individual commitment, they became protagonists of their own learning process. They were not discouraged by external factors such as the lack of public policies to help students from families in social vulnerability, to acquire equipment and internet plans, fundamental for the continuity of studies at that time. Finally, it is believed to be important to study a later study, so that it is evaluated how this period of remote teaching may have affected these students in medium and long term.
