Diversidade de práticas de inclusão escolar e o impacto no atendimento de estudantes com altas habilidades nas instituições de ensino da Rede Jesuíta de Educação

Abstract

In recent years, there has been a significant increase in demands related to special education in Brazil. Particularly concerning the field of High Ability/Giftedness, there is still limited dissemination of knowledge about appropriate practices for this group, despite the growing interest in this topic observed in the increasing scientific productions. This study aims to understand, in practice, how current policies and legislation in the country have been implemented for this group. To do so, this work initially provides a historical overview of special education in the country, followed by a history of policies related to students with high abilities. Subsequently, it introduces the Jesuit Education Network – the space where the research was conducted. Finally, we discuss the results, which highlight various challenges arising from the inherent complexity of working with this group.
