Abstract
This research seeks to investigate the senses and meanings that gifted students and their families and teachers have in relation to social and emotional aspects of their development in the school context. This research takes a qualitative and exploratory approach. Participants in this research are five gifted students, five families (one representative from each family) and four teachers, three from the regular classroom and one from the resource room.Data collection took place through semi-structured interviews and observations made with gifted students, their families and their teachers. It is concluded that there is a need for personal and material investment in the education of students with high potential as well as support for their families, but this support does not always occur on a regular basis and when it does occur, teaching staff are not sufficiently well prepared to deal with this demand.
