Influence Of Gifted Instructional Strategies On Gifted Children’S Perceptual Reasoning: A Quasi-Experimental, Nonequivalent Group Comparison Study, Dafne Ashley Almazán
Influence Of Gifted Instructional Strategies On Gifted Children’S Perceptual Reasoning: A Quasi-Experimental, Nonequivalent Group Comparison Study, Dafne Ashley Almazán
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
The purpose of this quantitative, quasi-experimental nonequivalent group research was to analyze hypothesized differences in gifted students’ perceptual reasoning based on the type of instructional strategy they receive. Specifically, this study examined possible statistically significant differences among gifted students’ reasoning after receiving at least three years of full-time differentiated instruction, cluster grouping, or general education-focused teaching. Comparing gifted students’ perceptual reasoning and analyzing the impact of gifted instructional strategies and general systems will influence improvements in effective strategies for teaching gifted children. The study used the subscale of Perceptual Reasoning of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-IV) to examine …

Challenging Gifted Students In The General Education Classroom, Kelly Barnett
Education: Student Scholarship & Creative Works
This Honors in Education research focuses on gifted instruction in the general education early childhood classroom. Research found that being challenged in the general education classroom (in addition to in the gifted classroom) is a vital aspect of students’ gifted education. In addition to research on the importance of gifted education, effective strategies and best practices for challenging these students were explored through teacher interviews. Common themes such as strategic grouping, differentiation, enriched curriculum, problem solving, and project-based learning emerged. These strategies were compiled and organized into a digital toolkit website. This digital toolkit can serve as a teacher resource …
Counseling Gifted Students: School-Based Considerations And Strategies, Kelly Kennedy, Jessica Farley
Counseling Gifted Students: School-Based Considerations And Strategies, Kelly Kennedy, Jessica Farley
Education Faculty Articles and Research
Gifted students are a heterogeneous group, inclusive of those of all cultures, backgrounds, interests, and achievements. Gifted students may not display any more or worse psychological, social, or developmental challenges than their peers, but they also are not immune from these challenges. Moreover, the nature of their giftedness may impact both how they experience a challenge and how a counselor might best support them. This article provides information regarding some developmental, emotional, and social challenges faced by gifted youth, as well as some suggestions for appropriate school-based counseling strategies.

Recent research on problem solving explores its potential as a pedagogical practice. This emphasis rejuvenates the interest in problem solving as a learning activity. This paper presents the practice of using a selected problem together with its variants in a single lesson. The practice was implemented in middle school classroom settings with gifted students and with mixed ability students as well as in teacher education classrooms. Experiences from practice are used to illustrate that the use of a set of closely related problems is likely to make students more eager to share their solutions, to generate several solution strategies, and …

Education Of Mathematically Talented Students In Hungary, Julianna Connelly Stockton
Mathematics Faculty Publications
Hungary is famous for its production of large numbers of highly talented mathematicians and physicists. This study explores the Hungarian system for educating mathematically talented secondary school students with the goal of identifying successful features that may be applicable to education in the United States. Highlights of the Hungarian approach include an emphasis on problem solving, problem posing, detailed explanation or proof for solutions, and development of mathematical creativity through the search for multiple solution paths.

School Mathematics Education In Uganda: Its Successes And Its Failures, Immaculate Kizito Namukasa, Madge Quinn, Janet Kaahwa
Education Publications
This paper examines the character of school mathematics education in Uganda. It focuses on its successes, failures and its history. The methodology involved analyzing Ugandan curriculum documents and teaching resources. The analysis is through a comparative and post-colonial approach. The analysis reveals that Ugandan mathematics education is largely not influenced by recent international reforms; it purely essentialist; and it focuses on the gifted and students. To be sure this study is relevant for curriculum development in developing countries. From a post-colonial perspective the study is relevant to mathematics education of indigenous and marginalized populations in developed countries.

Can students with learning and attention difficulties in school actually be talented scientists in disguise? This article presents a model that was highly successful in identifying and developing scientific talent in these special students. The factors that contributed to the success of the model were the following: The emphasis was on helping students become creative producers. The model also featured a strong mentoring component that included role-modeling and problem solving within specific scientific domains and provided students with authentic, discovery-based, experiential, advanced level subject matter of the domain. Finally, the alternate means of assessing student achievement focused on a student’s …
