Beschreibung
This book brings together eminent and emerging scholars to present cutting-edge research on diverse conceptions of giftedness and talent from a range of international perspectives. It covers classical views, emphasizing IQ, but also seeks to move the academic debate on from the common exclusive emphasis on IQ-based skills.
In each chapter the contributors address both theoretical advances and practical applications for administrators, teachers, and parents. The editors conclude by integrating the different points of view and showing ways in which major ideas, even when given different names, can be integrated to provide a holistic and integral viewpoint on giftedness and talent. This book will appeal to students and scholars of creativity, giftedness and gifted education; as well as to practitioners, teachers and education policymakers.
Examines current conceptions of giftedness from an international perspective Develops trajectories for future research in the fields of giftedness, talent and gifted education Includes chapters on topics that cut across national boundaries, such as creativity, and others that address the meaning of these terms in specific national or regional contexts
