“…Comparing with the gifted education during primary and secondary studies, the highereducation talent management is an under-investigated area. A lot of study approaches this topic from HR-aspect (Boichenko, 2015;Gandy et al, 2018;Neri and Wilkins, 2019). Among the studies written about talented students, just a few investigate the talented students with empirical methods (Cognard-Black and Spisak, 2019).…”

This study aims to assess the views of Hungarian professors/associate professors regarding important student factors at the beginning of their scientific and academic careers. Two hundred seventy-three university faculty members who work with high-achieving students (e.g., gifted, honors) completed a questionnaire regarding the attributes of gifted students. The study highlights similarities and differences among these Hungarian faculty opinions on student attributes. Data was analyzed for talent-attributes with a logistic regression to discern the differences among different scientific disciplines (medicine, humanities, economics). A one way ANOVA model was used and indicated no difference between traits based on scientific discipline (F = 1.023; df = 5; p > 0.05). The conclusions of this research highlight key attributes of Hungarian honor students identified by Hungarian university teachers and these attributes are closer than we hypothesized related across scientific disciplines.

The space between secondary-school gifted education and starting one’s academic career is what is termed higher education talent management in this context. The “talent management”, in the aspect of the Hungarian higher education, refers to academically talented students, who prepare to the scientific career. So, the talent management in higher education can be imagined as a bridge between formal school studies and scientific career. In this research, I investigated empirically, with psychological questionnaires and other indicators what features and personality-traits contribute to academic/scientific success (number of scientific activities). 144 talented students were recruited to this research; all of them participated in a talent program or conception. The 5-page test pack included mainly professional psychological tests. The data was analyzed with linear regression statistical method, where the dependent variable was an index calculated from the students’ scientific activities. The regression model has been significant (F=3,453; df=128; p<0,05), but owing to the weak R-square value (0,226), the results are not suitable to the practical adaptation and talent identification.

Many articles claim that talent management is a very important aspect of higher education. Despite of this, the studies, which investigate this topic empirically, are very rare. The Hungarian higher education talent management focuses mainly on academic-, scientific aspect of talent. So, the main purpose of talent-management is the academic reinforcement, namely, growing up a new generation of scientist/university teachers. The talent management in higher education can be imagined as a bridge between formal school studies and scientific career. In this study, I search answer for the (research) question: how should academic talent be measured during higher education studies? Moreover, does it have any sense to identify the academic talents during even their higher education studies? The research is based on opinion of 170 university teachers who supervised talented students during a young-researcher competition. The method was questionnaire-method. The questions gathered round two main topics: (1) identifying of talented students and cooperation with talented students; (2) own career of supervisor university teachers. The results had been analyzed with descriptive statistics which show the mostly chosen talent-identifying methods and features of talented students. The open-ended questions had been content-analyzed. The data of university-teacher’s career had been analyzed with mathematical statistical tests (ANOVAs, Two-sample T tests, correlations) where the dependent variable was the number of publication (as indicator of the scientific performance). The results may suggest conceptions for talent-programs (honor programs) based on academic talent; for doctoral schools, and for any other institutes who works with career entrant scientist. The scientific reinforcement would be more effective if scientific programs/scholarships/PhD-programs used professional methods during selection process, instead of subjective choices, based on CV and motivation letter.
