For the present study, we use the electronic game, Minecraft and the RPG GURPS – Basic Set. The study counted on the participation of students who regularly attend the Program of Attention to the Precocious student With Gifted Behavior (PAPCS), in which part of the research data was collected in the form of workshops held during 2017. These activities had the objective to investigate also , the degree of commitment to the task, and the efficiency of the use of the potentialities of the games considered. We present discussions about the relationships between giftedness, creativity and games, aiming at the contribution of these elements to this discussion. We denote, through a bibliographical review, the lack of scientific productions on the subject. As a result, we understand that minecraft, as a support tool for enrichment, can be considered as a promising tool, but still requires more scientific research, while RPG has been perceived as an important stimulating tool for creative actions and commitment to assignment. Although research on gifted students is growing in Brazil, we believe that there is still a lot to be done, especia... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Mestre

Lack of theoretical coherence in the field of gifted education has given rise to multiple attempts at a grand unification, including most recently the work of Subotnik, Olszewski-Kubilius, and Worrell (2011). The authors argue that the incoherence is an inevitable consequence of the fundamental incompatibility of theoretical and definitional features desired by psychologists and educators. Our field could best progress by splitting into the two related but distinct disciplines of high-ability psychology and advanced academics. Furthermore, the prospective adoption of Subotnik et al.'s eminence framework as an organizational principle for either advanced academics or high-ability psychology is criticized.

Existing research practices in gifted education have many areas for potential improvement so that they can provide useful, generalizable evidence to various stakeholders. In this article, we first review the field’s current research practices and consider the quality and utility of its research findings. Next, we discuss how open science practices increase the transparency of research so readers can more effectively evaluate its validity. Third, we introduce five large-scale collaborative research models that are being used in other fields and discuss how they could be implemented in gifted education research. Finally, we review potential challenges and limitations to implementing collaborative research models in gifted education. We believe greater use of large-scale collaboration will help the field overcome some of its methodological challenges to help provide more precise and accurate information about gifted education.

This study was designed to examine the relationship between teacher referral and the underrepresentation of CLD students in gifted education and to identify the factors that influenced teachers' decisions to refer CLD students to gifted services. Studies on the issue of disproportionality in gifted education in the United States have indicated teacher referrals can be a pivotal instrument in the identification of culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) gifted students. However, previous research has shown teacher referrals of CLD students to gifted services may be influenced by the teacher's own explicit or implicit stereotypes or beliefs of their students' cultural or linguistic backgrounds. District level data from the 2021 school year were examined through a Pearson's correlation coefficient test and a survey was administered to teachers in three different grade levels to determine whether factors such as assessment scores, parent referral, student behavior, and teachers' prior experience with CLD predicted their decision to refer CLD students for gifted services. The survey included two open-ended questions that provided qualitative data on the traits that teachers most associated with giftedness in CLD students, as well as information on school division resources that teachers find to be most effective in supporting their referral of CLD students. The findings of this study revealed there was a relationship between teacher referral and the underrepresentation of CLD students in gifted education. No significant relationship was found between the factors listed in the survey and the teachers' decision to refer CLD students to gifted services. However, the frequency of teachers' responses to the Likert-scale questions in the survey indicated the teachers' strong consideration of assessment scores and prior experience with CLD students when recommending CLD students for gifted education. The implications of the study emphasized the need for structures that support the analysis of data on the role teachers play in the underrepresentation of CLD students in gifted education, the assessments used to identify gifted students, and the need for intentional professional development that equips teachers with the skills to recognized exceptionality in CLD students. / Doctor of Education / This study was designed to examine the relationship between teacher referral and the underrepresentation of CLD students in gifted education and to identify the factors that influenced teachers' decisions to refer CLD students to gifted services. The disproportionate representation of these students in gifted education has been considered one the most pressing current issues in educational equity. Studies on the underrepresentation of CLD students in gifted education have identified that teachers are the first step in the gifted screening process. However, previous research has shown teacher referrals of CLD students to gifted services may be influenced by the teacher's own explicit or implicit stereotypes or beliefs of their students' cultural or linguistic backgrounds. This study examined talented and gifted district level referral data from the 2021 school year. This data consisted of the number of referrals by teachers, parents, and administration to the gifted education program. A point biserial correlation was used to determine if a relationship existed between total teacher referrals and the ethnicity of the students in the reported data. A survey consisting of demographic questions, Likert scale questions, and two open-ended questions was administered to teachers in nine elementary schools to determine whether factors such as assessment scores, parent referral, student behavior, and teachers' prior experience with CLD predicted their decision to refer CLD students for gifted services. The survey included two open-ended questions that provided qualitative data on the traits that teachers most associated with giftedness in CLD students, as well as information on school division resources that teachers find to be most effective in supporting their referral of CLD students. The findings of this correlational study revealed there was a significant negative relationship between teacher referral and the representation of CLD students in gifted education, indicating that moving from the non-CLD student category to the CLD student category of student ethnicity, there was a medium decrease in total teacher referrals. No significant relationship was found between the factors listed in the survey and the teachers' decision to refer CLD students to gifted services. However, the frequency of teachers' responses to the Likert-scale questions in the survey indicated the teachers' strong consideration of assessment scores and prior experience with CLD students when recommending CLD students for gifted education. The implications of the study emphasized the need for structures that support the analysis of data on the identification instruments used in the gifted education process, the assessments used to identify CLD gifted students, and the need for targeted professional development that equips teachers with the skills to recognized exceptionality in CLD students.

Studien syftar till att undersöka vilka kännetecken pedagoger uppfattar att de särskilt begåvade eleverna uppvisar och hur de kommer till uttryck i matematikundervisningen. Detta görs med förhoppningen att fler pedagoger ska kunna uppmärksamma sina särskilt begåvade elever. Studien bygger på semistrukturerade intervjuer med fem pedagoger samt två observationer av särskilt begåvade elever. Resultatet visar dels att pedagoger uppfattar vissa kännetecken som tecken på särskild begåvning trots att kännetecknen inte har koppling till särskild begåvning. Resultatet visar också att de särskilt begåvade eleverna utnyttjar sina mer välutvecklade förmågor på olika sätt beroende på om de har intresse för ämnet och känner sig motiverade. Studiens implikation på yrkesutövandet blir att det behövs mer kunskap hos pedagoger om hur kännetecknen kan komma till uttryck för att säkerställa att fler av de oidentifierade eleverna uppmärksammas. / The purpose of the study is to examine what traits educators perceive that the gifted students exhibit and how it shows in mathematics teaching. This is done with hope that more educators will be able to notice their gifted students. The study is based on semi structured interviews with five educators as well as two observations of gifted students. The result shows that some of the traits that educators perceive as signs of giftedness aren’t connected to giftedness. The result also shows that the gifted students utilize their above-average abilities in different ways based on interest for the subject and feelings of motivation. The study implicates that educators need more knowledge about how the traits can be expressed to make sure that more of the unidentified gifted students come to educators’ attention.

Studiens syfte är att få ta del av pedagogernas syn på hur de ser på sin förmåga att identifiera särbegåvade elever och matematiskt särbegåvade elever. Om de tycker att de har goda förutsättningar för att kunna identifiera dessa elever eller om de upplever något hinder i sin förmåga att identifiera dem. Jag har valt att använda mig utav en enkätstudie för att få svar på mina frågor. Webbenkäten är skickad till 3 små kommuner och jag valde enkäter istället för intervjuer för att jag ville få en större spridning och fler olika sorters pedagoger som svarade. Studien visar att många av pedagogerna vet vad begreppet särbegåvad innebär men att de själva känner att de har för lite kunskap inom ämnet. / The purpose of the study is to get the educators view on how they look upon their ability of identifying gifted pupils. If they feel that they have potential to be able to identify these pupils, or if they experience any hinders in their ability to identify them. I have chosen to use a survey to be able to get answers to my questions. The survey is sent to three small municipalities and I chose surveys instead of interviews because I wanted to have a wider distribution and several different kinds of educators answering. The study shows that many of the educators know the meaning of the concept of giftedness, but that they feel that they have lack knowledge on the subject.

The aim of this study was to examine how adaptations in the teaching of gifted children of two preschools can be understood from the perspective of teachers, parents and children. The intent with the study was also to examine how the teachers worked to follow the curriculum and adapt the teaching, how the children could be affected by being seen as gifted and how the parents experienced the cooperation with the preschool regarding the teaching of their gifted children. Through observations and interviews four themes were discovered – characteristics and to be seen, teacher's knowledge and education on giftedness, working methods and adaptations, and transition from preschool to school. The study’s results showed that the different perspectives differ, both between parents, educators and children, but also between the two preschools and their surrounding culture. The surrounding culture had a larger impact than expected. The analysis, based on Stern’s theory of intersubjectivity and intercultural perspective, also showed the importance of gifted children to be seen as gifted and to interact with other gifted children.
