We examined the divergent validity and utility of the Test for Creative Thinking–Drawing Production (TCT-DP) in an identification protocol for high-ability students that included measures of intelligence, school motivation, inquisitiveness, creativity, and academic achievement. Data were collected from seventh-grade students across 6 years (n = 710). Small significant correlations between the different measures indicated that the TCT-DP did measure a construct separate from intelligence, school motivation, inquisitiveness, and academic achievement. Furthermore, creativity did not significantly affect academic achievement when controlling for intelligence, school motivation, and inquisitiveness. We did not find support for threshold theory. Finally, we concluded that the TCT-DP provides useful additional information on creativity for high-ability identification in which measures of intelligence, school motivation, and inquisitiveness are already included. Thus, this study’s findings provide evidence for the utility and divergent validity of the TCT-DP when used with a Dutch population.
我们在一项针对高能力学生的识别协议中检验了创造性思维-绘画制作测试(TCT-DP)的不同有效性和效用,该协议包括智力、学校动机、好奇心、创造力和学业成绩的测量。数据收集自六年内七年级学生(n=710)。不同测量之间的微小显著相关性表明,TCT-DP确实测量了一个独立于智力、学校动机、好奇心和学业成绩的结构。此外,在控制智力、学校动机和好奇心时,创造力对学业成绩没有显著影响。我们没有发现阈值理论的支持。最后,我们得出结论,TCT-DP为高能力识别提供了关于创造力的有用的额外信息,其中已经包括了智力、学校动机和好奇心的测量。因此,本研究的发现为TCT-DP在荷兰人群中使用时的效用和差异有效性提供了证据。

This study assesses the excellence gap by examining those who enroll in advanced, honors, and advanced placement (AP) classes among a low-income and a majority-Latinx population. Prospective longitudinal data come from a diverse, urban sample (N = 32,885) where 82.2% of the students received free or reduced price lunch. We examined numerous predictors (i.e., demographics, school readiness skills, prior academic competence) for eventual enrollment in an advanced course (middle school advanced, honors in middle and high school, and AP courses in high school) via multivariate logistic regression analyses. Results suggest that demographic factors (socioeconomic status, ethnicity, English-language learner status) often played a smaller role in advanced course enrollment after controlling for school-entry skills and prior academic competence with the exception of AP courses, where demographic effects persisted. Implications include targeted early intervention to get qualified students in poverty enrolled in academically advanced courses.
这项研究通过检查那些在低收入和拉丁裔人口中参加高级,荣誉和高级课程(AP)课程的学生来评估优秀差距。前瞻性纵向数据来自不同的城市样本(N = 32,885),其中82.2%的学生获得免费或减价午餐。我们通过多元逻辑回归分析检验了许多预测因素(即人口统计学、入学准备技能、先前的学术能力),以最终参加高级课程(初中高级课程、初中和高中荣誉课程以及高中AP课程)。结果表明,在控制了入学技能和先前的学术能力之后,人口因素(社会经济地位、种族、英语学习者地位)在高级课程入学中通常发挥的作用较小,但AP课程除外,人口因素的影响持续存在。影响包括有针对性的早期干预,使合格的贫困学生参加学术高级课程。

Stereotype Threat and Its Problems: Theory Misspecification in Research, Consequences, and Remedies 刻板印象威胁及其问题:研究中的理论错误、后果与补救

Despite the explosive growth in stereotype threat (ST) research over the decades, a substantive amount of variability in ST effects still cannot be explained by extant research. While some attribute this unexplained heterogeneity to yet unidentified ST mechanisms, we explored an alternate hypothesis that ST theory is often misspecified in experimental research design, which introduces experimental noise (and hence variability) in stereotype threat effects unlikely to be explained by extant moderators. This study used multilevel meta-analysis to examine the impact of ST misspecification in research design on ST outcomes. Results revealed that ST effects were artificially inflated in studies that failed to include essential conditions necessary for its occurrence. Because most studies in the meta-analysis had either excluded or partially included these conditions, findings from this study suggest that ST effects on women’s performance might be smaller than previously reported in primary and secondary (meta-analytic) studies.
尽管几十年来刻板印象威胁(ST)研究呈爆炸性增长,但现有研究仍然无法解释ST效应的大量可变性。虽然有些人将这种无法解释的异质性归因于尚未确定的ST机制,但我们探索了另一种假设,即ST理论在实验研究设计中经常被错误指定,它在刻板印象威胁效应中引入了实验噪声(因此也引入了可变性),而现存的调节者不太可能解释这种噪声。本研究使用多水平荟萃分析来检验研究设计中ST段错误指定对ST段结果的影响。结果显示,ST效应在没有包括其发生所需的基本条件的研究中被人为夸大。由于荟萃分析中的大多数研究都排除或部分包括了这些情况,因此这项研究的结果表明,ST对女性表现的影响可能比以前在初级和次级(荟萃分析)研究中报道的要小。

School Integration Limits the Ability of Local Norms to Diversify Gifted Programs: A Mathematical Analysis with Implications Related to the Achievement Gap 学校整合限制了地方规范使资优项目多样化的能力:一个与成绩差距相关的数学分析
IF 1 Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-01-05 DOI: 10.1177/1932202X211069078
Russell T Warne
Experts within gifted education have advocated for the use of local norms when selecting students for gifted programs, instead of national-level norms. Local norms compare students to their immediate peers to identify gifted students and are believed to produce a more diverse gifted program. However, district integration limits the ability of local norms to diversify gifted programs, a fact that has been almost completely overlooked in gifted education scholarship. Through a simplified example, we show that local building-level norms are best at diversifying gifted programs when schools are highly segregated. Conversely, when achievement gaps are present and a uniform admissions cutoff is applied, building-level norms in highly integrated schools produce highly segregated gifted programs. In short, the use of building-level local norms trades one form of segregation for another. Implications and recommendations for gifted education and beyond are explored. A preprint version of this article is available at https://psyarxiv.com/nemch/.
资优教育专家主张,在选择资优项目的学生时,应使用地方标准,而不是国家标准。地方规范将学生与他们的同龄人进行比较,以确定天才学生,并被认为会产生更多样化的天才项目。然而,地区整合限制了地方规范使资优项目多样化的能力,这一事实在资优教育奖学金中几乎被完全忽视了。通过一个简化的例子,我们表明,当学校高度隔离时,当地建筑层面的规范最能使资优项目多样化。相反,当成绩差距存在时,采用统一的录取标准,在高度融合的学校里,建筑水平的规范产生了高度隔离的天才项目。简而言之,使用建筑级别的地方规范以一种形式的隔离换来了另一种形式的隔离。对资优教育及其他方面的启示和建议进行了探讨。本文的预印本可在https://psyarxiv.com/nemch/上获得。

Still Where, Not If, You’re Poor: International Baccalaureate Opportunities to Learn International-Mindedness and Proximity to U.S. Cities 仍然在哪里,而不是如果,你很穷:国际文凭学习国际心态和接近美国城市的机会

M. Thier, Paul Beach
By matching International Baccalaureate (IB) and non-IB U.S. public schools based on state, grade span, and enrollment, we used recent public data to confirm relations among a hierarchy of school characteristics and whether schools made available any of IB’s four programs. We fortified prior claims regarding how poverty, minority concentration, and geographic locale as a function of proximity to cities relate to IB availability, a proxy for opportunity to learn international-mindedness. Our proximity approach to data from public schools and a descriptive look at data from private schools highlighted the unique importance of proximity to cities in identifying where IB opportunities do and do not exist. We conclude by specifying recommendations for decision-makers who might need resources to make IB implementation viable or to win local hearts and minds before doing so.
通过根据州、年级跨度和招生情况匹配国际文凭(IB)和非IB美国公立学校,我们使用最近的公开数据来确认学校特征层次之间的关系,以及学校是否提供了IB的四个项目中的任何一个。我们强化了之前的说法,即贫困、少数民族集中度和地理位置与IB的可用性之间的关系,IB是学习国际思想的机会的代表。我们对公立学校数据的接近方法和对私立学校数据的描述性研究强调了接近城市在确定IB机会存在和不存在方面的独特重要性。最后,我们为那些可能需要资源使IB实施可行或在实施之前赢得当地人心的决策者提出了具体建议。

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。

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.","PeriodicalId":46535,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Academics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1932202X20951825","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46688694","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}

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。
