Defining giftedness essay (1200 words, 29% due 9th April)
Purpose:
Diverse definitions of giftedness abound. In order to understand the research, to debate the issues and to be effective in identifying and providing for gifted students in schools, teachers need to develop a clear understanding of the concept of giftedness. Schools need to develop and articulate shared understanding of giftedness and adopt a school-wide definition that is appropriate for their context. This assignment will help students to explore (in detail and at depth) one definition of giftedness and consider both the beliefs that inform the definition and the implications that flow from the definition.
Task:
Critically evaluate one definition of giftedness from the literature and explain how it is appropriate to a defined context.
Your paper will:
• determine the ideas and beliefs that underpin the definition and grounds it in a particular philosophical or theoretical framework
• evaluate the definition using 3 of Moons (2006, in Purcell & Eckert, 2006, p. 26) guiding principles of:
o soundness
o equity
o utility
reflect on the feasibility of this definition for your particular educational context, or for a specified group of students (make sure that you clarify your defined context in your introduction. For instance you could be talking about a school in another country( Alam al-tofola private school in Jeddah) is an example Alam al-tofola private school is an example of such schools and was founded in 1992. The school, which is a girls secondary school mainly teaches Arabic and English. The school comprises of a two-storey building and has 600 students in total and 40 professors and members of staff.
• Most of the students who graduate from this school with knowledge from different subjects end up being productive members of the community. The school which is among the best schools in Jeddah teaches Arabic and English languages to its students., or a small rural community context, or you could be talking about a home-schooling context. You may be referring specifically to twice-exceptional students. In explaining how this definition fits your context, it is essential for you to explain the context.).
• reflect on the educational and incidental implications of this definition.
Possible Definitions to consider:
There are many to choose from, including the definition that your school/sector/state or country includes in their policy.
(You should be Use this references )
• Renzullis Three Ring Conception of Giftedness (1977, 2013)
• Gagnés Developmental Model of Giftedness and Talent (DMGT) (2008)
• Sternbergs WICS model (2004)
• Sternbergs Pentagonal theory of giftedness (1993; Sternberg & Zhang, 1995)
• Tannenbaums star model of giftedness (1983, 2010)
• Columbus Groups definition (1991)
• Piirtos Pyramid Model of giftedness (1994)
Resources:
There are many chapters that will illuminate your ideas, but in particular read the first section of the textbook (Callahan, C. & Hertberg-Davis, H. (Eds.). (2013). Fundamentals of gifted education: Considering multiple perspectives. New York, NY: Routledge.).
In evaluating your chosen definition, refer to 3 of Moons criteria that are explained in the following short chapter, which is available as an e-reading, accessed through the Library link on our topic FLO page. The book from which it is taken is the textbook for EDUC9793. Moon, S. (2006) Developing a definition of giftedness In J. Purcell & R. Eckert (Eds.). Designing services and programs for high-ability learners: A guidebook for Gifted Education. Thousand Oaks, CA: Corwin Press.
Tannenbaum is one of the key scholars in the field. This longer chapter from an excellent resource book provides a very comprehensive overview of the issue & is available as an e-reading. Tannenbaum, A. (2009). Defining, determining, discovering and developing excellence In J. Renzulli; E. Gubbins; K. McMillen; R. Eckert & C. Little. (Editors). (2009). Systems and models for developing programs for the gifted and talented (2nd ed.). Mansfield Centre, CT: Creative Learning Press.
Another resource for this assignment is the book that was previously used as the textbook for this topic, so is available in the library. Chapter 2 is an e-reading. Sternberg, R.; Jarvin, L. & Grigorenko, E. (2011). Explorations in giftedness. New York, NY: Cambridge University Press. Chapter 1 describes Sternbergs Pentagonal theory of giftedness.
Whichever definition you select, I would expect that you read that authors original work to best understand their conception of giftedness, so search for articles/books by that author to read.
These are some suggested starting points, and many articles and books can provide wider reading and more specific research relating to individual definitions.
(This is first post for me use some information for here)
The study of gifted from the studies that are difficult and complex and frequent controversy has for definition gifted was different from one researcher to another, each author has the definition. hawashin, Z. (1989)
This has resulted in differences in the concept of gifted and diversity that many studies and there were different views about how to recognize gifted and discovery.
The term giftedness is was not selected to contrast the scientists look at him, and the different methods used to select it, and the definition of the term gifted is linked to the difference in the means used, some of them based on the description of virtual personality traits as a way to identify talented and intelligent transaction based, and third party, use the level of educational attainment. Abu samaha,K, et al. 1992)
People believe that there are several factors that cause in presence giftedness are religion, customs and traditions of heredity, surroundings of the child . (Callahan & Hertberg-Davis, 2013).
There are several studies that help detect talented through identifying their characteristics since kindergarten. this strong reason for refute the myth which says all children are gifted. Mahmoud, E. ( October 1997) If all children are talented, why there was a need to recognize and build their own schools.
In addition to the tests, which measure IQ are all indications of differences in mental abilities between individual. Munro, J. (2013) And also there are differences stimulation in neural pathways to the brain when the gifted, compared with non-gifted.
There was much debate about the role of genetic factors and environmental factors in the area of talent, had to stop some middle ground stresses the importance of the role of each, without genetic talent working for equal opportunity for everyone to be an effective development of training programmes and develop the talents of individuals, Some believe that a genetic factor talent she inherited abilities when humans grow and evolve with the influence of external factors, and these factors are the so-called environment that embraces talent and pave the way towards innovation and excellence in all areas of life. Saba, y. (2005)
