Laboratorio de desarrollo en Educación Superior con alumnado de Altas Capacidades y/o Alto rendimiento - [Development Laboratory in Higher Education with High Ability and / or High performance students]

Abstract

- In the university framework, as in the rest of the educational system, one tries to achieve the levels of excellence required for an optimum academic training as well as the professional training of students. We focus on respecting the student's learning pace, specifically that of students with higher capabilities and / or higher performance. Hence, we propose the creation of development labs in research groups of excellence, which will enhance learning for these groups of students. For this we require the help from the Ministry of Education. Clearly, we must make university teachers aware that these types of students have special educational needs. Further, students with high abilities are not always high-achieving students. Therefore, we must train the university teacher in the detection of these students, and in proper intervention in those cases. Finally, students with high capabilities must be made conscious of their need for a different approach: they should learn to demand their rights, for the good of all.
