Academically Gifted

The identification of academically gifted children from the perspective of aptitude theory is discussed. Aptitude refers to the degree of readiness to learn and to perform well in a particular situation or domain. The primary aptitudes for academic success are (a) prior achievement in a domain, (b) the ability to reason in the symbol systems used to communicate new knowledge in that domain, (c) interest in the domain, and (d) persistence in the type of learning environments offered for the attainment of expertise in the domain. Careful attention to the demands and affordances of different instructional environments enables educators to identify those individuals who are most ready to succeed in them. Although the principles discussed here are useful for all students, they are particularly important for the identification of academically promising minority students.

Education in a specialised class is considered as a social factor influencing the identity of intellectually and academically gifted primary school children. An analysis of the empirical results of the study of social and personal identity of intellectually and academically gifted third-formers studying in a specialised class is given. The identity of gifted pupils is multilevel, multicomponent, in terms of differentiation, it is ahead of the development of the identity of their peers. Most gifted children in a specialised class are satisfied with their identity. At the same time, the problems of environmental friendliness of differentiation of classes by the level of academic success are noted. Peers of gifted children attending the same school often have a negative identity, that is, negative self-perception.

The present investigation examined whether academically gifted children, relative to their nongifted peers (a) were subject to greater self-oriented and socially prescribed perfectionism, (b) endorsed higher levels of Ellis' (1962) irrational beliefs, and (c) were prone to more negative reactions to an experimentally induced failure. Relative to their nongifted and academically achieving peers, the academically gifted students demonstrated more negative affective and physiological stress reactions to the experimentally induced failure, as well as higher levels of self-oriented perfectionism and irrational beliefs. The present findings highlight the need for research within the relatively new and unexplored field of gifted students' reactions to scholastic failure.

Abstract:  Counseling  for  the  Academically  Gifted  Children.  The  number  of academically gifted children is quite high distributed in all areas. The academically gifted  children  will  be  benefecial  for  themselves  and  other  people,  if  they  can develop optimally. There are many academically gifted children who are succesful in their life; however we can find some who are in difficulty. They need counseling services.    There  are  some  important  issues  in  counseling,  especially  for  the academically  gifted  children,  such  as:  (1)  divergent  thinker,  (2)  excitability,  (3) sensitivity,  (4)  perceptiveness,  (5)  entelechy.  (6)  self-concept,  (7)  counseling with parents,  and  (8)  underachievement.  To  help  them  face  important  issues,  social-personal  counseling,  academic  counseling,  and  career  counseling  are  necessary. These  three  counseling  approaches  can be  conducted  simultaneously,  depending on their needs. The models and strategies of counseling for the academically gifted children  are  therapeutic,  preventive,  and  developmental  models.  The  choice  of models  is  strongely  determined  by  the  need  of  effective  counseling,  in  order  to achieve the optimal result. To establish the effective counseling, it is necessary that counseling services should be conducted by professional counselors.  Keywords: counseling, academically gifted children
