Abstract

The article provides the results of an empirical study of the peculiarities of the formation of academic 
giftedness in children of school age, depending on the state of their adaptation to the educational environment. 
The peculiarities of the formation of academic talent were studied by determining the characteristics of groups 
of children with low and high levels of academic success. The study establishes a particular importance of 
the impact of health on the formation of academic giftedness and its dependence on the potential adaptation 
capabilities of the child.
 It is emphasized that the result of the realization of the negative complex influence of the educational 
environment on the academic giftedness may be a decrease in the child's adaptive capabilities.
 According to the results of empirical research, it was found that the most negative factors influencing the 
formation of academic giftedness are the reduction of the child’s adaptive capabilities to the conditions of the 
educational environment.
 During the research, it was established that for academically gifted children, the most characteristic 
diseases are diseases of the musculoskeletal system and diseases of the upper parts of the respiratory system  in particular, chronic compensated tonsillitis. Diseases of the nervous system and the digestive system are most 
characteristic of children with a low level of academic success.
 Deepening the cooperation of family doctors, pediatricians, psychologists and teachers will contribute 
to more effective implementation of academic giftedness in school-aged children.
 The conducted research does not cover all aspects of the investigated problem. The systemic aspect of 
the specified problem with the formation of a rating of factors of medical and social influence on the realization 
of academic giftedness in school-age children requires special study. It is no less important to coordinate the 
effective cooperation of teachers, medical workers and psychologists for adequate support of the development 
of children with signs of academic giftedness.
