Giftedness is known for the traits of creativity, engagement with the task, and above-average ability. (RENZULLI, 2014). There are other little explored traits such as, for example, autonomous moral .. The present article had as objective to analyze the notion of justice of students with high abilities / giftedness. The subjects studied were ten elementary and middle school students aged between 11 and 16 identified with high abilities / giftedness in the school context and attending multifunctional resource rooms in two public schools of a municipality in the interior of the State of Paraná / Brazil . Data were obtained through the Piagetian clinical method and the research instrument was the semistructure interview composed of moral dilemmas involving the categories of immanent justice, retributive, distributive justice and respect for rules. The study demonstrated that these students have a broad understanding and sensitivity regarding the injustices that occur in the general context of society as well as respect for the rules. We conclude that the aspects related to autonomous morality were evident in the students investigated by the demonstration of a refined notion of justice. However, it is necessary the development of pedagogical actions that allow discussions on topics of their interest in order to favor the construction of cooperative environments. Finally, we emphasize that it is fundamental that teachers know the characteristics of high skills / giftedness in order to stimulate the exercise of moral autonomy and thus offer opportunities to act according to these principles in cooperative environments.Downloads
