A sala de recursos como possibilidade de desenvolvimento criativo para estudantes com altas habilidades/superdotação

Abstract

Thinking about High Abilities/Giftedness requires a unique and attentive look at the particularities of students with these characteristics. In this sense, this text sought to outline reflections on the resource room as a space for creating new educational possibilities for students with High Abilities/Giftedness. Qualitative, exploratory research was used, with a procedure used to collect data and use the case study of the Poetry Fair Project, carried out in the Resource Room of a public school in Planaltina, a city in the Federal District. We used document analysis to study this Project. The results demonstrated that such opportunities are innovative, as they go beyond the classroom walls, allowing protagonism, authorship and, mainly, the active participation of students, thus stimulating creativity. It was also possible to verify that the project provided autonomy to those involved, thus producing stimulation through language, writing and art. As challenges to carrying out such actions, we observe the need to direct attention and government resources to this sector of special education and to overcome misconceptions about skilled students.
