TEACHER'S EXPECTATIONS IN THE INTERVENTION OF HIGH ABILITIES

Abstract

Teachers play a crucial role in the teaching and learning of students, particularly those with high abilities, hence the importance of having good training in the care of this population. It has been found that those teachers who have been trained in the attention to students with high abilities are more sensitive to the attention to these students. The purpose of this study was to analyze the impact at the social level on students with high abilities who entered CEPAC, from the perspective of teachers and, in turn, to know the expectations of teachers regarding CEPAC and students with high abilities. The results indicated an increase in the socialization of the students from the teachers' point of view. However, teachers' expectations continue to be influenced by a traditional view. With respect to CEPAC's expectations, only a few differences were observed.
