Abstract

ABSTRACT This article investigates conceptions of giftedness amongst Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians. It adopts a qualitative case-study methodology involving 14 participants associated with a scholarship program aimed at developing the academic potential of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander youth from remote and disadvantaged communities. Using semistructured interviews and a grounded-theory analytical approach, a number of themes were identified. These included an egalitarian basis to the construct, an avoidance of the gifted label, an understanding of giftedness as having learned and innate dimensions as well as a relative view of giftedness. Associations with achievement motivation also were highlighted amongst participants suggesting that views of giftedness have been shifting away from traditional associations. Results further revealed a perception of giftedness linked more to leadership and progress than to previously identified associations with elitism, individualism, and broader Australian societal ideals.

环绕两个世界:澳大利亚原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民对天赋观念的转变
本文调查了澳大利亚原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民的天赋观念。它采用定性案例研究方法,涉及14名参与者,这些参与者参与了一个奖学金方案,旨在开发来自偏远和弱势社区的土著和托雷斯海峡岛民青年的学术潜力。使用半结构化访谈和基于理论的分析方法,确定了一些主题。这些包括平等主义的基础,对天赋标签的回避,对天赋的理解是有学习和天生的维度,以及对天赋的相对看法。参与者也强调了与成就动机的联系,这表明对天赋的看法已经从传统的联系转变了。研究结果进一步表明,人们对天赋的看法更多地与领导力和进步联系在一起,而不是之前认为的精英主义、个人主义和更广泛的澳大利亚社会理想。
