Challenges of using Digital Technologies in the Context of Remote Learning for University Students with High Abilities or Giftedness

The integration of two interdisciplinary areas - Education for Gifted and Digital Technologies - provided the questioning about how has been occurring the teaching-learning process of college students with high abilities or gifted in remote education. From this guiding question, it became evident the objective of identifying, from the perspective of the university student with high abilities, how this teaching process has occurred, and which digital technologies can enrich and streamline the curriculum of this student, in the context of remote teaching. To this end, we conducted an exploratory, descriptive research with a qualitative approach, whose development occurred through the participation of three college students with high abilities/super ability, enrolled in a higher education institution in the state of Maranhão. After analyzing the data, they showed a rich area for the development of studies and research, in view of the multiple potentialities of the use of digital technologies in the remote teaching of students with high abilities or over dotation. However, due to the lack of training, information and knowledge about the two areas, Gifted Education and Digital Technologies, the teaching-learning process of gifted students in Higher Education has been compromised in the context of remote teaching.
