We conducted a document analysis study in response to a request from district-level gifted education specialists about additional services to support their gifted high school students. Given the fact that these students are diverse in many ways (e.g., readiness, interest areas, and backgrounds such as race, ethnicity, culture, gender identity, and sexual orientation), it is important they have access to a continuum of differentiated services. Therefore, we applied a pragmatic lens to examine the 2019–2022 North Carolina gifted education plans from one region to identify how districts proposed they would serve gifted high school students. Our analysis yielded six topical themes and related services: (1) acceleration, advanced courses, and programs; (2) differentiation: curriculum, instruction, and assessments; (3) enrichment; (4) collaboration and advising; (5) social and emotional; and (6) learners from diverse groups. We conclude with practical suggestions for educators and recommendations for future research in this under investigated area.
我们进行了一项文件分析研究,以回应区级资优教育专家关于支持他们的资优高中生的额外服务的要求。鉴于这些学生在许多方面都是多样化的(例如,准备程度、兴趣领域和背景,如种族、民族、文化、性别认同和性取向),重要的是他们能够获得连续的差异化服务。因此,我们采用务实的视角来考察2019-2022年北卡罗来纳州一个地区的资优教育计划,以确定各地区如何提出他们将为资优高中生提供服务。我们的分析产生了六个主题和相关服务:(1)加速、高级课程和项目;(2)差异化:课程、教学、评估;(3)丰富;(4)协作与建议;(5)社会和情感;(6)来自不同群体的学习者。最后,我们对教育工作者提出了切实可行的建议,并对这一研究领域的未来研究提出了建议。

Creativity is increasingly seen as a key human capability that can be deliberately developed. Correspondently, a proliferation of tools, techniques, and methods are available in the academic and popular literatures. Creative problem-solving (CPS) is one framework among these, and has a 70-year history of research and development. This essay overviews this history and the key stages of its continuous development, as well as the rationale for the changes and improvements that have been made. Foundational work established the Osborn–Parnes paradigm for CPS. Initial efforts were aimed at enhancing this approach. Then came work to stretch the Osborn–Parnes approach, and ultimately to break this paradigm. Understanding these major stages of development should better differentiate contemporary CPS approaches from the variety of earlier versions. Future research and development are also highlighted that will move our understanding, learning, and application forward.
创造力越来越被视为一种可以被有意培养的关键人类能力。相应地,在学术和流行文献中可以获得大量的工具、技术和方法。创造性问题解决(CPS)就是其中的一个框架,它有70年的研发历史。本文概述了这一历史及其持续发展的关键阶段,以及所做的改变和改进的理由。基础工作为CPS建立了Osborn-Parnes范式。最初的努力旨在加强这一做法。然后是对Osborn-Parnes方法的延伸,并最终打破这一范式的工作。了解这些主要的发展阶段应该更好地将当代CPS方法与各种早期版本区分开来。还强调了未来的研究和开发,这将推动我们的理解、学习和应用。

This article presents an analysis of the participation of Texas public school districts in the Advanced Placement (AP) program for academic years ending 2013 through 2019. We develop and estimate to a panel of school district data a hurdle count model composed of (1) a first stage fixed effect binomial logistic regression model of the probability that a school district opts-in to locally offer AP program courses in a given academic years and (2) a second stage fixed effect zero truncated Poisson regression model of the number of unique AP courses offered in a given year by opting-in districts. We find that the number of Texas school districts providing local access to AP courses is decreasing through time; however, we also find that districts that do provide local access to AP courses offer increasingly greater numbers of unique AP courses.
本文分析了德克萨斯州公立学区在2013至2019学年的大学先修课程(AP)计划中的参与情况。我们对一组学区数据开发并估计了一个障碍计数模型,该模型由(1)第一阶段固定效应二项逻辑回归模型和(2)第二阶段固定效应零截断泊松回归模型组成,该模型是学区在给定学年选择在当地提供AP课程的概率,以及(2)选择学区在给定年份提供的独特AP课程的数量。我们发现,随着时间的推移,德克萨斯州提供本地AP课程的学区数量正在减少;然而,我们也发现,提供本地AP课程的地区提供越来越多的独特AP课程。

Our aspirations for gifted learners in talent development programs need to go beyond the development of expertise, creative productivity, and eminence. It is argued that wisdom development should be the ultimate goal of educating gifted learners. It is not merely what talents gifted learners develop, but how they use these talents, which will determine how meaningfully they lead their lives, and contribute to the lives of others in society. A theoretically grounded Leading Wisdom Development Framework (LWDF) is presented which articulates developmental levels of wisdom: emerging wisdom, developing wisdom, enhancing wisdom, and advancing wisdom. The framework outlines leadership actions which include deepening teaching quality and collective teacher capacity, strengthening programming, enabling student agency, collaborating with the wider community, and anchoring changes into the school culture. Effective leaders create conditions for integrated wisdom and talent development of gifted learners so that they can use their talents for the greater good of others.
在人才发展项目中,我们对天才学习者的期望需要超越专业知识、创造性生产力和卓越性的发展。智慧发展应该是天才学习者教育的终极目标。这不仅仅是有天赋的学习者发展了什么才能,而是他们如何利用这些才能,这将决定他们如何有意义地过自己的生活,并为社会上其他人的生活做出贡献。提出了基于理论的智慧发展先导框架(Leading Wisdom Development Framework, LWDF),阐述了智慧的发展层次:新兴智慧、发展智慧、提升智慧和提升智慧。该框架概述了领导行动,包括深化教学质量和集体教师能力,加强规划,使学生能够代理,与更广泛的社区合作,以及将变革融入学校文化。有效的领导者为天才学习者的综合智慧和才能发展创造条件,使他们能够利用自己的才能为他人带来更大的利益。

Previous research supporting differentiated instruction (DI) has led to its adoption in different countries as a promising pedagogical framework for addressing diverse learners’ needs. To date, there exists little information on DI from Tanzania especially when competence-based education and inclusion are being embraced. To address this gap, this study explored how Tanzanian teachers perceived DI in their working with academically high-achieving secondary school students. The study was strongly informed by a constructivist research tradition, adopting a multiple case study design. Focus group discussions and interviews were used as data sources and thematically analyzed. The analysis revealed teachers’ limited perceptions of DI, although consonance with the existing literature on DI practices for high-ability learners. After discussing the findings, as conclusion, the article stresses the importance of training teachers on DI to enhance their instructional practices for high-ability learners in Tanzania, along with setting the grounds for future research.
先前支持差异化教学(DI)的研究已使其在不同国家被采用,成为解决不同学习者需求的一个有前景的教学框架。到目前为止,坦桑尼亚关于DI的信息很少,尤其是在接受基于能力的教育和包容的情况下。为了解决这一差距,本研究探讨了坦桑尼亚教师在与学业成绩优异的中学生合作时如何看待DI。这项研究受到建构主义研究传统的强烈影响,采用了多案例研究设计。焦点小组讨论和访谈被用作数据来源,并按主题进行分析。该分析揭示了教师对DI的认知有限,尽管与现有关于高能力学习者DI实践的文献一致。在讨论了研究结果后,作为结论,文章强调了对教师进行DI培训的重要性,以加强他们对坦桑尼亚高能力学习者的教学实践,并为未来的研究奠定了基础。

This study was conducted using a qualitative approach as it aimed to evaluate the Science and Art Center Science Curriculum (SACSC), which was updated in 2020, within the framework of the context, input, process, and product (CIPP) approach by taking the opinions of science teachers working in Science and Art Centers (SACs) in Turkey. The data were collected according to the qualitative data collection method and a structured interview form was used as a data collection tool. The findings showed that science teachers working in SACs have generally negative views on SACSC based on the context dimension of the CIPP Model, while their views are generally positive based on input, process, and product dimensions. Based on the results of the research, it is recommended to conduct other comparative studies between the SACSC and similar curricula in other countries in order to reveal the relationship between the program components and the needs of children and society.

Using the test scores of more than 1,000,000 students who participated in the Advanced Placement Computer Science (AP CS) exams from 1997 to 2020, this study examined the direction and magnitude of the trends in gender disparity in participation and top achievement in advanced exams. The findings indicated that the male-to-female ratio (MFR) among AP Computer Science (CS) exam participants declined from 4.87 to 2.26 between 1997 and 2020. Similarly, the MFR among top scorers (students who scored 5 out of 5) in any type of AP CS exams declined rapidly, in favor of female students, from 8.00 to 2.14 during the same period. Possible implications of these findings for educators, particularly for AP CS teachers and school counselors, were also discussed in the context of the underrepresentation of females in computing fields.
利用1997年至2020年参加AP计算机科学(AP CS)考试的100多万名学生的考试成绩,本研究考察了参与高级考试和最高成绩的性别差异趋势的方向和幅度。研究结果表明,AP计算机科学(CS)考试参与者的男女比例(MFR)从1997年的4.87下降到2020年的2.26。同样,在所有类型的AP - CS考试中,得分最高的学生(5分中的5分)的MFR在同一时期从8.00迅速下降到2.14,这对女生有利。这些发现对教育工作者,特别是AP CS教师和学校辅导员的可能影响,也在女性在计算机领域代表性不足的背景下进行了讨论。

Effective professional learning (PL) practices are essential for promoting experienced and talented teachers’ continued growth, and ultimately, supporting student achievement, including gifted students. In this qualitative case study, we interviewed and surveyed 32 public and private school PK-12 teachers, an Executive Director, and a Board Member about their experiences while participating in a week-long summer symposium designed to enhance talented teachers' expertise and leadership skills. Teachers were identified as talented and nominated to participate through a selection process. The topics, delivered by education experts through lecture, small group work, and large group discussion, focused on executive functioning research, professional self-reflection, and leadership. Data analysis illuminated teachers' critiques and suggestions for improvement of the symposium and a preference for more differentiated PL approaches. We discuss key implications for future research and applications of our research to the growing need for differentiated PL in the field of gifted education.
有效的专业学习(PL)实践对于促进经验丰富、才华横溢的教师的持续成长,并最终支持学生(包括天才学生)取得成就至关重要。在这项定性案例研究中,我们采访并调查了32名公立和私立学校PK-12教师、一名执行董事和一名董事会成员,了解他们在参加为期一周的夏季研讨会时的经历,该研讨会旨在提高有才华的教师的专业知识和领导技能。教师被认定为有才华的教师,并通过选拔程序被提名参加。这些主题由教育专家通过讲座、小组工作和大型小组讨论进行,重点是执行功能研究、职业自我反思和领导力。数据分析阐明了教师对研讨会改进的批评和建议,以及对更具差异性的PL方法的偏好。我们讨论了未来研究的关键意义,以及我们的研究对天才教育领域日益增长的差异化PL需求的应用。

We discuss key implications for future research and applications of our research to the growing need for differentiated PL in the field of gifted education.","PeriodicalId":46535,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Academics","volume":"33 1","pages":"636 - 665"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41730999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Promoting high-achieving students plays an important role in the school context. Hence, one promising support measure within the mixed-ability classroom is differentiated instruction (DI). The current systematic review examined (1) the impact of DI on high-achieving students’ outcomes, (2) to what extent DI is used, (3) how useful teachers and high-achieving students perceive DI, and (4) which barriers and facilitators are encountered in DI’s implementation. Forty-nine studies from 2000 to 2019 were included. Differentiated instruction impacted high-achieving students’ academic achievement and motivational-affective characteristics predominantly positive. However, there was considerable heterogeneity between and within studies. Teachers typically did not use DI for high-achieving students proactively nor on a regular basis. However, teachers and high-achieving students perceived DI as valuable for encouraging high-achieving students. The barriers found might help to explain discrepancies between the extent of usage and the perceived utility, whereas the identified facilitators suggest how to overcome these barriers.
促进成绩优异的学生在学校环境中发挥着重要作用。因此,在混合能力课堂中,一种很有前途的支持措施是差异化教学。目前的系统综述考察了(1)DI对高成就学生成绩的影响,(2)DI的使用程度,(3)有用的教师和高成就学生如何看待DI,以及(4)在DI的实施中遇到了哪些障碍和促进者。纳入了2000年至2019年的49项研究。差异化教学对高成就学生的学习成绩和动机情感特征的影响主要是积极的。然而,研究之间和研究内部存在相当大的异质性。教师通常不会主动或定期对成绩优异的学生使用DI。然而,教师和成绩优异的学生认为DI有助于鼓励成绩优秀的学生。发现的障碍可能有助于解释使用程度和感知效用之间的差异,而确定的促进者则建议如何克服这些障碍。
