Abstract:

This study addresses the problem of assessing the logical reasoning potential of intellectually gifted students as indicated by their ability to use the eight formal operational concepts defined by Inhelder and Piaget. The performance of 39 tenth-grade and 26 twelfth-grade students previously identified as intellectually gifted was compared with that of 427 students representative of a cross-section of the school population at the same grade levels on a group-administered pencil-and-paper test of formal reasoning. The unequal and disproportionate group numbers necessitated the use of a gener

Abstract:

In Australia, the implementation of policies and provisions for gifted education vary among the states and territories. A commonality across the country is the reports of negative attitudes towards giftedness and gifted education, as outlined in The Australian Senate Committee’s report, The Education of Gifted Children (Collins, 2001). This study was an inquiry into the attitudes of teachers in South-East Queensland state primary schools. In particular, it explored attitudes towards intellectually gifted children and their education, and factors that may be associated with these attitudes. Res

Abstract:

ABSTRACT This qualitative research study was conducted to examine whether investing in innovation and gifted intelligence would improve America's economic well-being. The investment issue became a problem because educational researchers researched innovation as creativity rather than as productive behavior. Moreover, in the literature, adult giftedness was perceived as negative development rather than as alternate normative behavior. The purpose of this research study was to generate new knowledge about innovation and adult giftedness. WICS (wisdom, intelligence, creativity, synthesized) theor

Abstract:

Academically gifted students are recognised as possessing considerable achievement potential. Yet many gifted students fail to perform at a level commensurate with their ability. This phenomenon is known as underachievement and may have far-reaching personal and social costs. Underachievement is particularly prevalent during early adolescence, between the ages of 10 to 14 years, when declining levels of academic achievement are often apparent. Grouping for instructional purposes is advocated as a means of reducing underachievement for gifted students by providing opportunities for like-minded

This study is different from the research carried out in this field so far in that it expresses an hitherto unheard adult voice. It does so by examining the causes and the long-term effects of academic underachievement, as perceived by high IQ adults, on reflection.
