FERREIRA, Weberson Campos  and  MOREIRA, Geraldo Eustáquio. Vadim Andreevich Krutetskii's contributions to the field of high abilities/giftedness in mathematics. Obutchénie: R. de Didat. e Psic. Pedag. [online]. 2023, vol.7, n.3, a2023-69584.  Epub Aug 20, 2025. ISSN 2526-7647.  https://doi.org/10.14393/obv7n3.a2023-69584.

With the affirmation of Mathematics Education as a research field and, more recently, with the emergence of Inclusive Mathematics Education, research on mathematical giftedness raises discussions about its definition. Although different authors refer to Krutetskii's theory as the most complete attempt to explain the phenomenon, his work is often cited for being considered a pioneer, but rarely highlight the potential for analysis that his conception of mathematical giftedness presents. This article is a theoretical and bibliographical study and aims to discuss the relevance of Krutetskii's theory for studies on mathematical giftedness nowadays. It was possible to identify convergence with the contemporary theories and that, from the point of view of scientific research, Krutetskiian theory presents us with rich elements that can help us reflect on the theoretical-methodological aspects of our investigations.

Keywords : Krutetskii; Giftedness; Mathematical abilities; Research; Theory.
