“…The assessment identifies areas for development by identifying where talent is lacking. A plan is then created, which includes goals, objectives, outcomes (Mack, Breit, Krischler, Gnas, & Preckel, 2021), activities (training, coaching, mentoring) that will be used to achieve the goals and objectives, as well as a timetable for completion of those activities (monthly training sessions). Once the plan has been developed, it must be communicated to all parties involved so that they understand how their roles will contribute to the overall goals being met (Karacay, 2018).…”

Financial institutions are constantly looking for new competitive advantages due to the intense competition in the banking sector. Financial institutions investing in Talent Management can better weather economic storms and respond to changing customer wants and needs. Furthermore, they have a better chance of attracting and retaining the most talented employees. Deposit-taking institutions have made significant progress in implementing Talent Management strategies. However, the outcome has not been as expected due to high human capital attrition in the banking industry and the fact that the best talents are in high demand and can be expensive to acquire. A survey research design was used for the study. The study included 134 employees from various money deposit banks. The study used a simple random sampling method. For data collection, a well-structured and validated questionnaire was used. The response rate was 69%, and the information gathered was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. According to the findings, Talent Management has a positive and significant effect on the competitive advantage of selected money deposit banks in Ogun State (AdjR2 = 0. 573, F(3, 91) = 39.337, P 0.05). The study recommends that deposit money banks identify, acquire, develop, and retain a competent workforce to improve job performance and competitive advantage.

“…In Stage 1, to derive a common working theory we discussed the assumptions of the TAD model for talent development in STEM and the predictors and correlates of STEM achievement (see Table 1) with the teachers of the 23 schools in workshops. We assessed teachers' knowledge about talent development and student-related variables that indicate potential for STEM, compared this knowledge with scientific evidence in a contrasting juxtaposition, and agreed on a working theory conceptualizing potential in STEM as multidimensional and dynamic (for a detailed description of this process and its results see Mack et al, 2021).…”

We present a teacher professionalization project for promoting elementary school teachers' diagnostic competencies in recognizing their students' potential in STEM subjects. Teacher professionalization is fostered through the teachers' personal involvement in the development of subjectspecific diagnostic materials as well as through continuing training on the fundamental knowledge needed to detect and support gifted students. On the basis of the Talent Development in Achievement Domains (TAD) framework, we reached a common working theory of talent and its development in mathematics and science for elementary school-aged students based on the available scientific evidence and approved by teachers. We share a multidimensional, dynamic view of talent development that includes abilities, personality traits, and skills. We describe how our working theory and diagnostic materials can foster teachers' diagnostic competencies as well as talent discovery and promotion in order to foster students' development of creative productivity in STEM fields.

“…Such work tends to be longitudinal and nonexperimental since ability levels are taken to be relatively stable traits over time. The second approach centers on the processes by which individuals develop interests, skills, and knowledge in a given field, such as a field in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) area 4 , 5 . Such works range from correlational studies to experimental interventions designed to increase domain‐specific competencies.…”

What experiences constitute failures? High school students’ reflections on their struggles in STEM classes

Inculcating the capacity to adapt successfully to failures is essential for talent development in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. Despite its importance, this capacity to learn from failure is among the least understood processes in the field of talent development. This study aims to investigate how students conceptualize and react to failures and whether there is a correlation between students’ conceptualizations of failure, emotional reactions to it, and academic performance. We invited 150 high‐achieving high school students to share, interpret, and label their most memorable struggles in their STEM classes. Most of their struggles focused on the learning process itself, such as poor understanding of the subject matter, insufficient motivation or effort, or adopting ineffective learning strategies. Poor performance outcomes, such as poor test scores and bad grades, were not mentioned as frequently as the learning process. Students who labeled their struggle experiences as failures tended to focus more on performance outcomes, whereas students who labeled their struggle experiences as neither failures nor successes focused more on the learning process. Higher‐achieving students were also less likely to label their struggles as failures than less‐high achievers. Implications for classroom instruction are discussed with a particular focus on talent development in STEM fields.
