| Abstract | |
The present study aims to identify characteristics of students with indicators of High Abilities /Giftedness (AH/SD) observed by their mothers in some field of knowledge, and their relationships/associations with school complaints and behavior problems. A total of 13 mothers, aged between 29 and 48 years old, were enrolled in the study, and the level of schooling from the Elementary School to the Doctorate and their children aged 5 to 14 years. The data were obtained from the instruments: Checklist of Characteristics Associated with Supervision - CCAS; Assessment of Knowledge about Giftedness (ACAS); Semistructured Interview Roadmap for the Family; Anamnesis Interview and Capacities and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ-Por). The collection was carried out at the Center for Applied Psychology (CPA), at the Paulista State University - UNESP - campus of Bauru, State of São Paulo, in 2016/2017. Qualitative interview data were analyzed and categorized according to the Bardin content analysis and IRAMUTEQ software. Data from the ACAS, ACAS, Anamnesis and SDQ-Por were counted for two groups of mothers according to schooling, using descriptive statistics and statistical test of hypotheses, to verify association between qualitative variables. As results, in the CCAS, the mothers pointed out in their children the characteristics associated with giftedness, such as: unusual capacity for logical reasoning; advanced vocabulary for age; curiosity and questioning sense. In ACAS, it was observed that the mothers had a good understanding about AH/SD, but they revealed some myths. The interview revealed that mothers observe above-average abilities in their children, facilities for learning, commitment to the task, persistence, ease in logical-mathematical reasoning, curiosity, reading, academic, artistic skills, creativity, and knowledge. In school complaints, 73% of the mothers reported receiving their children's school complaints, among which are the behavior problems, in the school environment, indiscipline, difficulties in social interaction with their peers and complaints related to the fact that have AH/SD. In an anamnesis interview, the mothers indicated that their children have a good memory, are attentive to school tasks, have contact with other children, and show agility in cycling. Already in the SDQ-Por, the mothers evaluated their children within normality, for the subscales of emotional symptoms and hyperactivity, behavioral problems as borderline, for the subscale of relationship problems with colleagues as non-standard, and all mothers attributed pro-social behavior to their children. hus, there are indications that mothers are good identifiers, independent of schooling and perceive specific characteristics and / or abilities related to their children's AH/SD from an early age, from infancy, as well as of a relationship between school complaints with the characteristics associated with AH/SD.
