Academic talent development programs: a best practices model

Abstract: This article aims to describe how schools should structure the development of academic talent at all levels of the K-12 educational system. Adopting as its theoretical framework the Differentiating Model of Giftedness and Talent, the author proposes (a) a formal definition of academic talent development (ATD) inspired by the principles and practices adopted in education, music, and sports and (b) seven constitutive characteristics of exemplary talent development programs. He develops his proposal around an enr… Show more

“…En ellos, se observan diferencias estadísticamente significativas en la evaluación del inventario de inteligencias múltiples entre los momentos pretest y postest de las inteligencias llamadas emocionales (intrapersonal e interpersonal); en contraste, no se distinguen indicadores estadísticamente significativos con respecto a las otras inteligencias. Estos resultados del programa pueden explicarse desde la misma teoría DMGT (Gagné, 2015) en el sentido de que, para obtener competencias en diversas áreas (académicas, técnicas, ciencia y tecnología, artes, servicio social, administración-ventas, operaciones financieras, juegos y deportes-atletismo), se requiere no solo los catalizadores medioambientales e internos, sino también la potenciación del proceso de desarrollo en términos de inversión (tiempo, dinero y energía), que es donde el presente programa muestra sus falencias metodológicas, ya que este básicamente se estableció con la energía como máximo recurso y promoviendo las interacciones sociales como inputs.…”

“…The study of intelligence and the most talented ones goes back to the beginning of Scientific Psychology (Borges & Hernández-Jorge, 2006). This early interest was followed by a long researcher tradition (see for example Gagné, 2015;Renzulli & Reis, 2003;Tannenbaum 1986;Sternberg, 2000;Ziegler & Phillipson, 2012) still has not got a universal definition of high ability and either of the problems that can concern this student body (for more information consult Plucker & Callahan 2014;Subotnik, Olszewski-Kubilius, & Worrel, 2011).…”

“…There is a tendency towards referring to children with potential who may display high levels of performance in at least one area as being gifted and talented, whereby the words are considered synonyms or as a catchphrase. In keeping with Gagné's theory, the concepts of gifted and talented are not interchangeable as giftedness corresponds with high potential, while talent implies high achievement (Gagné, 2015); principally, the terms are differentiated, as gifts are natural abilities, while talents are developed skills. Gifted children are inherently intrinsically motivated to master the domain in which they are highly able, "unless social and emotional factors interfere" (Winner, 2000, pp.…”

“…There is an overlap in 1. An outline of Gagné's Differentiated Model of Giftedness and Talent (Adapted from Gagné, 2015) Furthermore, it should be noted that according to Gagné's DMGT, being gifted does not imply an all-encompassing quality, permeating all facets of one's existence but rather a potential for performing at a high level in one or more areas of functioning when compared to others of the same age, experience or within a particular environment. For example, a gifted child may excel at school yet experience difficulty tying their shoelaces.…”
