The purpose of launching honors programs in Azerbaijan was not only to introduce advanced academic programs but also to change the culture in the universities: to make students more socially active, to encourage them to participate in international competitions, and continue their education. Keeping these goals in mind, we evaluate honors programs by comparing honors students and nonhonors students in respective universities by (a) academic performance, (b) future academic goals, and (c) participation in extracurricular activities. We showed that when we look at academic performance, future academic goals, and some of the extracurricular activities, honors students clearly outperform nonhonors students.
在阿塞拜疆开展荣誉课程的目的不仅是引进先进的学术课程,而且是改变大学的文化:使学生更积极地参与社会活动,鼓励他们参加国际比赛,并继续他们的教育。牢记这些目标,我们通过比较各自大学的优等生和非优等生来评估荣誉课程,包括(a)学习成绩,(b)未来的学术目标,以及(c)参加课外活动。我们发现,从学习成绩、未来的学习目标和一些课外活动来看,优等生的表现明显优于非优等生。

Proportional identification of students for gifted services in Florida school districts is an important goal. A multi-level model was used to analyze school district data from the Florida Department of Education from the 2011–2016 academic years. Results from the study indicate that the likelihood of identification of students varied by their socioeconomic status. Students who were Black were 59% more likely to be identified for gifted services if they participated in federal meal subsidy programs. However, the likelihood of identification for students who are Latinx or Native American decreased by 47% and 38%, respectively, when compared with peers who did not participate in federal meal subsidy programs.
佛罗里达州学区按比例确定学生参加天才服务是一个重要目标。使用多层次模型分析佛罗里达州教育部2011-2016学年的学区数据。研究结果表明,学生身份认同的可能性因其社会经济地位而异。如果黑人学生参加联邦膳食补贴计划,他们获得天才服务的可能性会高出59%。然而,与没有参加联邦膳食补贴计划的同龄人相比,拉丁裔或美洲原住民学生被识别的可能性分别降低了47%和38%。

This article describes three female professors’ experiences to attain degrees (bachelor’s, master’s, and doctorate) as first-generation college students (FGCS) and become academics. Their individual stories are shared through narratives, which capture crucial episodes of overcoming challenges. Because completion of a terminal degree by FGCS (of the Baby Boomer generation) is statistically low, these professors are outliers to the norm. Discussion identifies factors that aided the educators in their educational advancement.
本文描述了三位女教授作为第一代大学生(FGCS)获得学士、硕士和博士学位并成为学者的经历。他们的个人故事通过叙述的方式分享,这些叙述捕捉到了克服挑战的关键时刻。由于FGCS(婴儿潮一代)完成最终学位的人数在统计上很低,这些教授是常态的异类。讨论确定了帮助教育工作者教育进步的因素。

Globally, universities have an interest in recruiting the most talented students; however, limited attention has been given to how these students experience their transition and adjustment to university life. This mixed-methods study analyzes the academic, social, emotional, and institutional dimensions of gifted students’ adjustment to university in the context of post-Soviet Kazakhstan, a country characterized by a strong emphasis on the education of gifted students. The findings of the study confirm that the process of gifted students’ adjustment to university is a complex phenomenon, and all the aspects of students’ first-year experiences should be carefully taken into consideration when studying the transition to postsecondary education. The results of the study are useful for understanding the issues that gifted students face in the transition to higher education and have important implications for research on gifted students’ postsecondary experiences internationally.
在全球范围内,大学都有兴趣招收最有才华的学生;然而,人们对这些学生如何经历大学生活的转变和适应却关注有限。这项混合方法研究分析了后苏联时代哈萨克斯坦的背景下,天才学生适应大学的学术、社会、情感和制度维度,哈萨克斯坦是一个高度重视天才学生教育的国家。研究结果证实,资优学生适应大学的过程是一个复杂的现象,在研究向中学后教育的过渡时,应仔细考虑学生一年级经历的各个方面。这项研究的结果有助于理解天才学生在向高等教育过渡过程中面临的问题,并对国际上研究天才学生的中学后经历具有重要意义。

Culturally Responsive Assessments of Spatial Analytical Skills and Abilities: Development, Field Testing, and Implementation 空间分析技能和能力的文化响应性评估:开发、现场测试和实施
IF 1 Q3 EDUCATION, SPECIAL Pub Date : 2020-08-01 DOI: 10.1177/1932202X20910697

A persistent problem in education is underrepresentation of certain cultural and linguistic groups such as American Indian, African American, and Hispanic, in special programs for exceptionally talented students, especially in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The spatial analytical task, a performance-based assessment with demonstrated reliability and validity as an instrument to identify exceptionally talented students, was included with new instruments created in the Cultivating Diverse Talent in STEM (CDTIS) project. A continuum of problems, including closed, semi-open, and open-ended, was an important component of the measures, enabling the assessment of creative problem solving as well as assessment of skills such as seeing how things fit together visually and in space; through mental images, on paper, and in physical objects or forms. The spatial analytical assessment was implemented as part of a battery of instruments to identify students to participate in a special internship program. Ratings of students on the spatial analytical assessment who were identified for the internship program using the new assessments were higher than ratings for students identified using conventional methods, which demonstrates that the assessment will be a useful tool for selecting students from diverse cultural groups. The assessment has multiple purposes in addition to its use as an identification tool: evaluation of special programs, planning differentiated instruction, and as a pre- and post-measure of student gains. The test–retest reliability, and construct, concurrent, and predictive validity for secondary students need continued investigation in future studies.
教育中一个持续存在的问题是,某些文化和语言群体,如美国印第安人、非裔美国人和西班牙裔,在为特别有才华的学生开设的特殊课程中,尤其是在科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)方面,代表性不足。空间分析任务是一种基于绩效的评估,具有证明的可靠性和有效性,是识别杰出人才的工具,它被纳入STEM培养多样化人才(CDTIS)项目中创建的新工具中。一系列问题,包括封闭式、半开放式和开放式问题,是这些措施的一个重要组成部分,有助于评估创造性解决问题的能力,以及评估技能,如观察事物如何在视觉和空间上结合在一起;通过心理图像,在纸上,以及实物或形式。空间分析评估是作为一系列工具的一部分实施的,这些工具旨在确定参加特殊实习计划的学生。在空间分析评估中,使用新评估确定的实习项目学生的评分高于使用传统方法确定的学生的评分,这表明该评估将是从不同文化群体中选择学生的有用工具。除了用作识别工具外,评估还有多种用途:评估特殊课程、规划差异化教学,以及作为衡量学生成绩的前后指标。中学生的测试-再测试信度、结构、并发性和预测有效性需要在未来的研究中继续调查。

A research team consisting of educators of gifted students, a scientist, and experts in measurement developed a performance-based assessment of life science skills and abilities. Four high schools in the Southwestern United States were the settings for field testing and implementation. Five levels of ratings were given: unknown, maybe, probably, definitely, and wow. The majority of student scores were in the maybe and probably categories. Using six new measures (concept maps in life and physical science, math problem solving, spatial analytical performance assessment, life science performance assessment and physical science performance assessment), 23 students (M2) were selected for participation in science laboratories at an R1 university along with 20 students (M1) selected by conventional means. When the nine attribute scores of the performance-based assessment were compared, no significant difference was found t(41), p > .38, between M1 and M2 students. Performance-based assessments in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) will provide an alternative and a complement to standard achievement tests. They have the potential to identify and nurture exceptionally talented high school students across all demographic groups.

The purpose of this study was to explore 11th- and 12th-grade students’ expectations in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (IB DP) at a high school in the Western United States. Study participants included 92 of 94 high school students currently enrolled in the IB DP. Each participant completed a researcher-created, paper survey with 24 questions, using a 5-point Likert-type scale, as well as four demographic questions. Overall, students reported high expectations and beliefs for the program in helping them prepare for postsecondary education. Findings also suggested that females experienced more stress and feelings of being overwhelmed, while enrolled in the program as compared with males, despite a larger percentage of females reporting of postsecondary plans. In addition, Spanish-speaking students aspired to community college more than their peers, suggesting possible disparities in equity. A discussion of these findings and their implications are provided.
本研究的目的是探讨美国西部一所高中11年级和12年级学生对国际文凭课程(IB DP)的期望。研究参与者包括目前参加IB DP的94名高中生中的92名。每位参与者都完成了一份由研究人员设计的有24个问题的书面调查,使用李克特式5分制量表,以及4个人口统计学问题。总的来说,学生们对这个项目抱有很高的期望和信念,认为它能帮助他们为接受高等教育做准备。调查结果还表明,与男性相比,女性在参加该项目时经历了更多的压力和不知所措的感觉,尽管有更高比例的女性报告说她们有中学后的计划。此外,讲西班牙语的学生比同龄人更渴望进入社区大学,这表明在公平方面可能存在差异。对这些发现及其意义进行了讨论。

Are U.S. Schools Closing the “Gifted Gap”? Analyzing Elementary and Middle Schools’ Gifted Participation and Representation Trends (2012–2016) 美国学校正在缩小“天才差距”吗?中小学天才参与和代表性趋势分析(2012-2016)

This article tests hypotheses by examining variations in the percentage of elementary and middle schools offering gifted and talented programs as well as gifted student participation and representation between 2012 and 2016. Using the Office of Civil Rights and the National Center for Educational Statistics (NCES) Common Core data, we find that between 2012 and 2016, the percentage of schools with gifted programs declined slightly. Crucially, gifted participation is increasing faster in low-poverty schools than in high-poverty schools. Furthermore, suburban schools became more likely to have gifted programs than urban, rural, or town schools. However, gifted participation by urbanicity decreased across all four locales. Using only 2016 data, we show that students who are Black and Hispanic continue to be statistically underrepresented. We conclude with a brief discussion and policy implications.
本文通过调查2012年至2016年间提供天才和天才课程的中小学比例以及天才学生的参与度和代表性的变化来检验假设。利用民权办公室和国家教育统计中心(NCES)的共同核心数据,我们发现在2012年至2016年间,拥有天才项目的学校比例略有下降。至关重要的是,与高贫困学校相比,低贫困学校的天才参与率增长更快。此外,郊区学校比城市、农村或城镇学校更有可能开设天才课程。然而,在所有四个地区,城市的天才参与度都有所下降。仅使用2016年的数据,我们发现黑人和西班牙裔学生在统计上的代表性仍然不足。最后,我们进行了简短的讨论并提出了政策建议。

Research suggests that honors students are more likely to be engaged in some, but not all, aspects of the college experience, although there is less information available from the faculty perspective. This study presents findings from the Faculty Survey of Student Engagement (FSSE), comparing various engagement-related practices between faculty who teach honors courses and those who do not. Along with core FSSE items, this study uses responses from 1,487 faculty members at 15 institutions on two items about teaching honors courses. A series of ordinary least squares regression analyses suggest that faculty who teach honors courses are more likely to encourage engagement in the areas of student–faculty interaction, learning strategies, and collaborative learning, even after controlling for other demographic and institutional variables. These findings are considered within the context of existing research and theory, connecting knowledge from higher education and gifted education.
研究表明,荣誉学生更有可能参与到大学生活的某些方面,而不是全部,尽管从教师的角度来看,可获得的信息较少。本研究展示了学生敬业度的教师调查(FSSE)的结果,比较了教授荣誉课程的教师和不教授荣誉课程的教师之间的各种敬业度相关实践。本研究采用了15所院校1487名教师对两项关于荣誉课程教学的问卷调查。一系列普通的最小二乘回归分析表明,教授荣誉课程的教师更有可能鼓励师生互动、学习策略和协作学习等领域的参与,即使在控制了其他人口统计学和制度变量之后也是如此。这些发现是在现有研究和理论的背景下考虑的,将高等教育和资优教育的知识联系起来。

With increasing attention to examining cognitive strengths and achievements related to social and emotional variables, it is imperative that instruments developed and used to assess change be valid and reliable for measuring underlying constructs. This study examines instruments identified and/or developed to measure four noncognitive constructs (i.e., student engagement, self-efficacy, growth mindset, and stereotype threat) as outcome variables in a study with elementary-aged students in high-poverty rural communities. The process of creating and examining the psychometric properties of these instruments is a necessary step in documenting the usefulness of the instruments not just in our study but also in other studies with elementary students. We note in our descriptions of the development and assessment of measures that underlying factors may or may not parallel those identified in the general population or in older students and that measurement of noncognitive variables in the population of young gifted students requires considerable attention.
随着人们越来越关注与社会和情感变量相关的认知优势和成就,必须开发和使用工具来评估变化,以有效和可靠地测量潜在的结构。本研究考察了在一项针对高贫困农村社区小学生的研究中确定和/或开发的测量四种非认知构念(即学生参与度、自我效能感、成长心态和刻板印象威胁)作为结果变量的工具。创建和检查这些工具的心理测量特性的过程是记录这些工具的有用性的必要步骤,不仅在我们的研究中,而且在其他小学生的研究中。在我们对发展和评估措施的描述中,我们注意到潜在的因素可能与一般人群或年龄较大的学生中发现的因素相似,也可能不相似,并且在年轻的天才学生群体中测量非认知变量需要相当的关注。
