A percepção dos indicadores de altas habilidades/superdotação por docentes e discentes do Instituto Federal do Amapá, campus Macapá e Santana

Abstract

Inclusion seeks to offer a familiar environment for all, regardless of their particularities, and is inserted in all spheres of people's daily lives. In education, it is no different. Therefore, the inclusion process must be carried out for everyone in the Professional and Technological Education offered by the IFs. The conception of omnilateral education seeks to unite training for the job market and access to formal scientific knowledge and culture in a single environment. Therefore, an education recognizing students' different characteristics and needs must be assumed and worked on in the institution's educational process. This study aimed to verify the perception of professors and students of the Federal Institute of Amapá (IFAP) about the characteristics of High Abilities/Giftedness (AH/SD) for the recognition and subsequent assistance of students with these characteristics, taking them out of invisibility and offering an opportunity to develop their potential within this teaching modality. Unfortunately, the perception of teachers and students surveyed about the characteristics of people with AH/SD is still common sense. This situation compromises the identification of students with these indicators and reinforces stereotypes about the subject. Therefore, the limits of the present study are recognized. It is hoped that this research can contribute to new studies in the area of inclusion and EPT, which stimulates a look and the will to achieve inclusion in fact, demonstrating with this attitude that even in this teaching modality, the benefit will be for everyone involved in this educational process
