OGEDA, Clarissa Maria Marques  e  PEDRO, Ketilin Mayra. Evaluation of social skills in students with gifted behavior. Educ. Teoria Prática [online]. 2025, vol.35, n.69, e45. ISSN 1981-8106.  https://doi.org/10.18675/1981-8106.v35.n.69.s18158.

The phenomenon of giftedness is characterized by three behavioral traits: above-average skills, involvement with the task and creativity. These individuals must be assisted by specific professionals and benefit from specialized educational services. In addition to academic aspects, the literature in the area points to the need for further investigation that assess socio-emotional aspects, such as the social skills behavior. The objective of the present article was to evaluate the Social Skills repertoire of students with gifted behavior, through the evaluation of parents/guardians and self-assessment. Six students with gifted behavior and their respective parents/guardians (12) participated in the study, totaling 18 participants. To proceed with the assessment of students’ social skills, we used the Sistema de Avaliação de Habilidades Sociais as material, which is an instrument validated in the national context. The results indicated that the social skills of students with gifted behavior were considered good, however, the students proved to be quite heterogeneous in this aspect, with students who experimented from the elaborate repertoire to the lower average repertoire. Thus, we emphasize that the development of social skills is more closely related to the environment in which the student is inserted and to meeting specific needs than to the presence of giftedness.
