Abstract

People with high abilities are subjects with a much higher level of ability than their contemporaries in one or more learning categories, obtaining extraordinary and exceptional results (Pfeiffer, 2017). The need for the present work arises due to the high number of students diagnosed with high abilities in an educational center in Guayaquil. It poses a continuous and complex challenge for the teaching staff, which in some cases do not have education-related degrees, or did not receive preparation in their university curricula to respond to the special educational needs of this population. In response to this need, the present work aims to develop an intervention program that favors the development of cognitive skills and social adaptation of a specific group of students with high abilities from second to fourth grade of primary education in an educational center in the city of Guayaquil. As a result, an intervention has been designed that consists of training the teaching team to implement the strategy of curricular enrichment and identify students with high abilities. The intervention proposal has detailed ten sessions, a pretest-posttest questionnaire, and an identification scale for students with high abilities. The methodology is qualitative, action research design. The achievement of the End of Study Work will be evaluated, and it is expected that this type of intervention will improve the performance of students with high abilities in both the academic and socioemotional areas.
