O conceito se desenvolveu na Teoria Social Cognitiva e tem como alvo tarefas bastante específicas; por isso, possui aplicações nos mais diferentes campos do saber. Entre esses campos, têm-se a Educação, mais especificamente, dos alunos com características de dotação e talento (D&T). Vários são os modelos teóricos que buscam explicar e articular os conceitos de D&T. O Modelo de Dotação de Munique destaca o papel de moderadores individuais e ambientais que interferem na manifestação do talento. Crenças de autoeficácia são consideradas como importantes moderadores intrínsecos desse processo. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi comparar níveis de autoeficácia de adolescentes com e sem D&T. Devido à falta de instrumentos com evidências de validade, foi necessário realizar uma primeira etapa com o objetivo de analisar as propriedades psicométricas de uma escala de autoeficácia para, depois, comparar essas crenças em alunos com e sem D&T. 1ª Etapa – Foram obtidas evidências de validade de conteúdo, semântica, fatorial e de consistência interna para a versão brasileira da Children’s Self-Efficacy Scale (CSES-Br). Participaram especialistas em autoeficácia (N = 3), que atuaram como juízes, e estudantes do ensino fundamental (N = 679), que preencheram em sala de aula a CSES-Br e um questionário de caracterização discente. Foram obtidas evidências de validade satisfatórias do instrumento para o contexto brasileiro, permitindo que ele fosse utilizado posteriormente. 2ª Etapa – A CSES-Br foi aplicada, novamente, em 390 estudantes do Ensino Fundamental, sendo que 7,7% deles possuíam D&T e estavam vinculados ao CEDET (Centro para Desenvolvimento de Potencial e Talento) de Lavras, MG. Foram obtidas médias mais elevadas de autoeficácia para os alunos com D&T em todas as nove subescalas da CSES-Br. Porém, eles não diferiram significativamente dos pares quanto à ordenação dessas medidas. Ressalta-se, por fim, que a autoeficácia desempenha um papel desenvolvimental e educacional que vai muito além da moderação do desenvolvimento de D&T, sendo, portanto, necessário desenvolvê-la em todos os estudantes, com e sem D&T. / Self-efficacy is defined as the individual's belief about their own capabilities. The concept was developed in the Social Cognitive Theory and targets very specific tasks, so it has applications in many different fields of knowledge. Among these fields, have the Education, more specifically, the students with giftedness and talent (G&T). There are several theoretical models that seek to explain and articulate the concepts of G&T. The Munich Model of Giftedness highlights the role of individual and environmental moderators that affect the achievement of talent. Self-efficacy beliefs are considered important individuals moderators of this process. The purpose of this study was to compare levels of self-efficacy from adolescents with and without G&T. Due to lack of instruments with evidence of validity was necessary to make a first step in order to analyze the psychometric properties of a selfefficacy scale to then compare these beliefs in students with and without G&T. Step 1 - We obtained content, semantics, factor and internal consistency evidences of validity for the Brazilian version of Children's Self-Efficacy Scale (CSES-Br). Participated experts in selfefficacy (N = 3), which acted as judges, and elementary school students (N = 679) who fulfill in the classroom the CSES-Br and a questionnaire of student characterization. We obtained satisfactory evidence of validity of the instrument for Brazilian context, allowing it to be used later. Step 2 - The CSES-Br was applied again in 390 elementary school students, which 7.7% of them had G&T and were bound to CEDET (Centre for Development of Potential and Talent) in Lavras, MG. The highest averages of self-efficacy were obtained for students with G&T in all nine subscales of the CSES-Br. However, they did not differ significantly from peers about the ordering of these measures. However, it should be noted that the self-efficacy plays a developmental and educational role that goes far beyond the moderation of the development of G&T, therefore, is necessary to develop self-efficacy in all students, with and without G&T.

Den föreliggande systematiska litteraturstudien behandlar matematiskt begåvade elevers skolsituation i grundskolan. Studien syftar till att undersöka hur matematiskt begåvade elever egentligen undervisas och vilket reellt stöd de får i sin akademiska progression. Matematiskt begåvade elever undervisas vanligtvis genom inkluderande eller exkluderande undervisning. De olika undervisningspraktikerna har olika fördelar och nackdelar och påverkar både begåvade elever och normalbegåvade elevers akademiska progression och personliga utveckling, men på olika sätt. / The systematic literature study processes mathematically talented students' school situation in elementary school. The study aims to investigate how mathematically talented students are actually taught and what real support they receive in their academic progression. Mathematically talented students are usually taught through inclusive or exclusive teaching. The different teaching practices results in different advantages and disadvantages and affect both talented students and the normal progressive students' academic progression and personal development, but in different ways.

Syftet med denna kvalitativa studie är att inhämta enskilda lärares åsikter om sitt faktiska stöd i undervisningen av särbegåvade elever i ämnet matematik, årskurs 4-6, samt sitt behov av stöd. Studien omfattar även vad lärare anser att de särbegåvade elever de undervisar erhåller samt behöver, för att utvecklas i ämnet matematik. För att kunna genomföra studien har sju personer verksamma på olika grundskolor i Sverige intervjuats, genom så kallade semi-strukturerade intervjuer.  Samtliga respondenter uppgav att de undervisat minst en särbegåvad elev var. Av resultatet framkom både likheter och skillnader mellan respondenternas svar. Sådana likheter var exempelvis att samtliga respondenter uppgav sig till största del vara självlärda på området särbegåvning och att kunskapen om elevers särbegåvning i svenska skolor generellt uppfattades som låg. Detta ansåg respondenterna i sin tur påverka de särbegåvade elevernas stöd i undervisningen negativt. Gemensamt för alla respondenter var även att de gav särbegåvade elever stöd i mån av tid och egen förmåga. En skillnad som framkom, respondenterna emellan, var att tre av dem inte ansåg sig ha något faktiskt stöd i undervisningen, men att de hade behov av detta. En av respondenterna uppgav sig inte ha något stöd, men upplevde sig heller inte behöva det. De resterande tre respondenterna uppgav att de kunde söka stöd i sin undervisning från bland annat specialpedagoger, förstelärare och beteendevetare. / The purpose of this qualitative study is to obtain the opinions of individual teachers about their actual support and their need for support, in teaching gifted pupils in the subject of mathematics, grades 4-6. The study also includes what teachers think gifted pupils receive and need, in order to develop knowledge in the subject of mathematics. To be able to carry out the study, seven people working at different compulsory schools in Sweden, were interviewed through so-called semi-structured interviews. All respondents stated that they each had been teaching at least one gifted pupil. The results showed similarities and differences between the respondents' answers. Such similarities were, for example, that all respondents stated that they were self-taught in the area of  gifted pupils and that the knowledge was generally perceived as low in Swedish schools. This was by the respondents considered to adversely affect the pupils' support in the classroom. Common to all the respondents was also that, they themselves, provided gifted pupils support according to their time and their own abilities. One difference that emerged between the respondent’s answers was that three of them did not consider themselves to have any actual support in teaching gifted pupils, but that they had a need for this. One of the respondents stated that she did not have any support but did not feel that she needed it either. The remaining three respondents stated that they could get support when teaching gifted pupils from, among other things, special educators, lecturers and behavioral scientists.

Although this project refers to theory and literature about giftedness and independent learning, it is based primarily on narratives of classroom experience. The key belief is that the best way to build on the strengths and meet the needs of adolescent gifted learners is for the teachers involved to create a classroom learning climate and curriculum which coaches those students towards independent learning. Such a climate and curriculum provide opportunities for gifted adolescents to reach their potential. An adaptable and practical three-stage model for designing such a curriculum is provided. By integrating self-and teacher assessment and evaluation throughout three stages of curriculum, the model provides opportunities for students to develop the skills necessary for independent learning. Three narratives of my own experiences in using the three-stage model outlined above are provided. The three situations include the role of classroom teacher of OAC English, co-author of a literature anthology and teacher resource for grade nine destreamed English classes, and facilitator of an Interdisciplinary Autonomous Learner programme for gifted/highly able adolescent learners. Thus, the three-stage curriculum model has been used and shown to be effective. My own, and my students' experiences in using the model, and the common ground discovered in all three roles, form the basis of the recommendations being made in the final chapter. Practical recommendations are made to teachers who are interested in implementing a curriculum which promotes independent learning for gifted adolescents. / Thesis / Master of Arts (MA)

I takt med att intresset för hög prestation ökat såväl nationellt som internationellt har även intresset för olika elevgruppers och elevtypers olika behov och förutsättningar ökat. En elevtyp som emellertid lyfts fram som outforskad, inte minst i en nationell kontext, är de elever som är särskilt begåvade eller särbegåvade. Skolverket har inlett ett arbete som syftar till att öka medvetenheten kring särskilt begåvade elever. Läraren är en avgörande aktör för särskilt begåvade elevers utveckling samt välmående i skolan. Skolverket har publicerat stödmaterial tillgängligt för lärare i flera ämnen, dock inte för samhällskunskap, där det verkar finnas en gråzon i såväl forskning som i lärares praxis för arbetet med särskild begåvning. Studien har som syfte att navigera i denna gråzon och undersöka samhällskunskapslärares uppfattningar om särskild begåvning i ämnet samhällskunskap, för att på så sätt skapa förståelse för hur lärare kännetecknar, identifierar samt undervisar och stimulerar särskilt begåvade elever. Tre samhällskunskapslärare, verksamma på tre olika gymnasieprogram på samma skola har intervjuats genom semistrukturerade intervjuer vilka har analyserats utifrån framförallt Kokots (1999) och Wallströms (2013) kännetecknande egenskaper för särskilt begåvade elever samt Lev Vygotskijs teori om den närmaste utvecklingszonen. Resultatet visar att lärarna uppfattar särskild begåvning som ett komplext fenomen som är svårt att avgränsa i allmänhet och i samhällskunskap i synnerhet. Deras uppfattningar kring särskild begåvning präglas av samblandning med andra elevtyper och tillägg av andra egenskaper, vilket går i enlighet med tidigare forskning om särbegåvning. Resultaten indikerar att lärarna uppfattar att relationsskapande processer och att lära känna sina elever är viktigt för såväl identifiering samt undervisning av elever som skulle kunna vara särskilt begåvade. / As the interest of high performance has increased both nationally and internationally, interest in different types of pupils and their needs and conditions has also increased. One type of pupil who, however, is depicturized as unexplored, not least in a Swedish, national context, are those pupuils who are gifted. The National Agency for Education has introduced work aimed at increasing awareness of giftedness and gifted pupils. The teacher is a crucial actor for the developement and well-being of gifted pupils in school. The National Agency of Education has published material aiming to support teachers in various subjects, but not for civics, were it appears to be a grey area in both research and teachers’ practice for teaching gifted pupils. The purpose of the study is to navigate this grey area by examine civics teachers’ perceptions of giftedness in civics, in order to achieve an understanding of how teachers characterize, identify, teach and stimulate gifted pupils. Three civics teachers, working at three different programs at the same upper secondary school have been interviewed though semi-structured interviews which have been analyzed though Kokot’s (1999) and Wallstrom’s (2013) characteristics of gifted pupils and Lev Vygotskij’s theory of the Zone of proximal developement. The results show that teachers percieve giftedness as a complex phenomenon that is difficult to define in general and in civics in particular. Their perceptions of giftedness is characterized by mixing with other types of pupils and the addition of other characteristics, which is in line with previous research on giftedness in general. The results indicate that the teachers percieve establishing professional relationsips with the pupils and getting to know them is important both for the identification and teaching of pupils who could be gifted.

The field needs more production of knowledge, mainly focusing on local realities, and a greater dialogue between the different theoretical lines. This research represents a small step in that direction. The overall objective of the study was to identify, register and analyze quantitatively the number of students with indicators of High Abilities/Giftedness identified by their teachers on a representative sample of the population of Jaboticabal city, São Paulo State, Brasil. Teachers of second, third and fourth grades from elementary education were invited to participate in the research. The study had characteristics of an exploratory study, in terms of a quantitative survey study, to provide an overview of a specific event or phenomenon. Data analysis aimed to identify variables in the natural environment. Seventy six teachers of public schools participated in the survey and this number represented 81% of the participants. Three instruments were used to collect data: an identification form, a characterization form and an indicator form for High Abilities/Giftedness indentification. The results indicated the presence of children with indicators of High Abilities/Giftedness in the surveyed classrooms, 38% of the children had one or more indicators. The number of children with indicators of High Abilities/Giftedness was 809 children among 2148 observed by teachers. The number of indicators observed (2760) were consistent with the reviewed literature about the topic and the teachers proved to be able to identify it. / Poucas pessoas com Altas Habilidades/Superdotação no Brasil são identificadas, menos ainda são aquelas atendidas de forma satisfatória para atingir seu pleno desenvolvimento. A área necessita maior produção de conhecimento, principalmente com foco na realidade local, e maior diálogo entre as diferentes linhas de pensamento. O presente trabalho representou um pequeno passo nesse sentido. O objetivo geral foi levantar, registrar e analisar quantitativamente o número de alunos com indicadores de Altas Habilidades/Superdotação identificados por seus professores em uma amostra representativa da população do município de Jaboticabal, estado de São Paulo. Foram convidados a participar os professores de segunda, terceira e quarta séries das escolas que ofereciam o Ensino Fundamental de Ciclo I. O estudo caracterizou-se como exploratório, uma pesquisa quantitativa do tipo survey , para proporcionar uma visão geral sobre um fato ou fenômeno específico. A análise de dados teve como objetivo a identificação de variáveis em ambiente natural. Participaram do trabalho de pesquisa setenta e seis professores da rede regular de ensino, número que representou 81% dos convidados. Para a coleta de dados foram utilizados três instrumentos: uma ficha de identificação, uma ficha de caracterização e um formulário de identificação de indicadores de Altas Habilidades/Superdotação. Os resultados indicaram a presença de crianças com indicadores de Altas Habilidades/Superdotação nas salas de aula pesquisadas, 38% das crianças apresentaram um ou mais indicadores. A quantidade de crianças com indicadores (809 crianças entre 2148 observadas pelos professores) e a quantidade de indicadores observados (2760) foram compatíveis com a literatura consultada sobre o tema e os professores se mostraram capazes de identificá-los.

L’objectif principal de cette étude vise à documenter l’expérience scolaire et sociale d’élèves doués du secondaire, regroupés dans un programme « douance » du Québec. Les objectifs spécifiques sont de comprendre le point de vue des élèves en ce qui a trait à leur expérience académique et à leur expérience individuelle au sein de leur classe. Leur point de vue est donc au cœur de la démarche, afin de saisir leurs perceptions scolaires, sociales et individuelles des mesures pédagogiques dont ils bénéficient (regroupement, accélération, enrichissement). Pour ce faire nous nous sommes appuyés sur les modèles théoriques de la douance selon Renzulli et Gagné ainsi que sur les modèles théoriques de l’expérience scolaire selon Dubet et Rochex. Une approche qualitative qui s’appuie sur le récit de vie, l’entrevue semi-dirigée et l’entrevue de groupe a été privilégiée pour réunir et analyser les données issues des 12 participants. Nos résultats suggèrent que le programme douance est globalement apprécié par les élèves, notamment la dimension sociale du parcours scolaire. Les dimensions académiques et individuelles sont plus nuancées, notamment en raison de critiques concernant le manque d’accélération et le manque de différentiation pédagogique. Toutefois, il en résulte une expérience scolaire majoritairement positive pour ces élèves grâce au regroupement pendant l’ensemble de la scolarité du secondaire. Les résultats sont discutés dans la perspective d’offrir des pistes de réflexion pour les milieux scolaires qui souhaitent mieux répondre aux besoins des élèves doués. / The main objective of this study is to document the academic and social experience of gifted secondary school students, grouped together in a "gifted" program in Quebec. The specific objectives are to understand the students' perspective with regard to their academic experience and their individual experience within their class. Their point of view is therefore at the heart of the process, in order to capture their academic, social, and individual perceptions of the educational measures from which they benefit (regrouping, acceleration, enrichment). To do this we relied on theoretical models of giftedness according to Renzulli and Gagné as well as on theoretical models of school experience according to Dubet and Rochex. A qualitative approach that relies on life stories, semi-structured interviews, and group interview was favored to gather and analyze the data from the 12 participants. Our results suggest that the gifted program is generally appreciated by the students, in particular the social dimension of the school pathway. The academic and individual dimensions are more nuanced, in particular, because of criticisms concerning the lack of acceleration and the lack of educational differentiation. However, the result is a predominantly positive school experience for these students thanks to grouping throughout secondary schooling. The results are discussed in order to provide schools some advice and reflections to adequately meet the needs of gifted students.

This diploma thesis deals with intellectually talented individuals and from the narrower point of view, gifted pupils in the subject of Czech language at the second level of elementary school. In the theoretical part, the author deals with the talents, definitions and concepts of this issue, existing models from various authors, characteristics of gifted children, approaches of Czech schools to the education of these children and extra-curricular possibilities for the development of their talent. This thesis also deals with linguistic intelligence and personality of the teacher. The main objective is to give a realistic picture of how teachers of the Czech language view gifted pupils and what differences they find between gifted individuals and ordinary students. Furthermore, the author of the thesis searches for the differences between the capabilities of pupils gifted at the Czech language and other pupils in fulfilling the assigned tasks. Last but not least, what is the point of view on education of the pupils themselves. In the practical part, using the structured interview method, information and opinions from teachers of talented pupils and pupils themselves to the teaching of the Czech language are collected. In addition to that, on the basis of the theoretical data gathered, practical tasks...
