ABSTRACT:
Creativity is an
essential attribute for the development of creative potential. However, it is
not always developed properly in the school context, especially when it is
about gifted students education. Because these children need a specialized
service to attend their special needs. In this sense, this study aims to
contribute in order that education professionals reflect and become aware of
the importance of creativity in education. The method of this research was
based on national and international studies which focused on the area of High
Abilities/Giftedness and creativity in the school context. The conclusion is
that the development of creativity depends on a good teacher education in
preparing activities that arouse curiosity and interest of each gifted,
enabling the student creative and independent, investigative and critical
thinking. Furthermore, teachers should provide new opportunities of reflection
on the process of teaching and learning.
