Out-of-school environments offer a unique opportunity for experiental learning which transcends the role of educational resources and teachers. This article introduces the special topic of out-of-school learning in science and mathematics education. First, we present the theoretical underpinnings from the movement towards crossing the boundaries of school in educational practices and broadening educational spaces. We continue with the key facets of out-of-school learning through a constructivist approach, aided by the concept of mediation environments as the third educator from a socio-material perspective. Furthermore, we focus our discussion on a selection of articles from this special number as an international overview on out-of-school learning. In the conclusion section, we discuss the gaps that the following works fill, as well as new questions that arise in the area. The closing remarks highlight the promotion of active learning in students, considering the role of the environment as the third educator.

The procedure of judging overt performance ability is a widely accepted one for the identification of musically gifted children. There may be those, however, who possess both a high degree of sensitivity to sound and mature insights into the meaning of that sound, yet lack the physical maturation essential to demonstrate these traits. A delay in the development of psychomotor coordination can mask a child's true musical talents. Those responsible for identifying musically gifted children should adopt a multifaceted procedure utilizing information from the child, his/her peers, parents, teachers and impartial judges. A systematic assessment of the child's aptitude, achievement and attitude levels should be employed through formal testing. The strengths and weaknesses of several standardized instruments are discussed to assist the music educator in the selection of the appropriate instruments for the evaluation of the child's potential. A matrix is then suggested to expedite the selection procedure.

There is general agreement that intellectually gifted children should be encouraged to develop their potentialities. However, a great deal of evidence indicates that currently used intelligence tests are not equally efficient in detecting high levels of ability in the various social classes. It is proposed that the highest in each class should be selected for special training.

Text of the abstract. The article reveals the problems of development of children's creative talent in out-of-school educational institutions. It has been determined that gifted children (children with special educational problems) are the most vulnerable in society in the modern educational space. They require special attention from teachers, parents, psychologists and doctors in the process of education, training, adaptation, socialization and personality realization in a fast changing world. The uniqueness of the concept of "creative talent" of the child is proved. The work of scientists is analyzed, components and indices of child giftedness are studied. Indicators of giftedness are abilities (intellectual, artistic, musical, choreographic, artistic, technical, sports) to a certain type of activity. Creative abilities form the basis of the development of creative talent of the child. Out-of-school educational institutions in Ukraine have long-standing traditions of teaching and upbringing students according to their interests, preferences, and individual abilities. The principles of their activities allow taking into account the individual characteristics of each child. The multifaceted system of interrelated pedagogical techniques and technologies enables a wide range of content, forms and means of teaching students, provides an alternative to meeting the spiritual needs of the child, her interests, cognitive and intellectual opportunities based on the differentiation and individualization of the educational process. The reseаrch is based on the example of the work of the Vinnytsia regional station of young naturalists. Researchers need further attention to identify early gifted preschoolers, ensuring the continuity of the development of giftedness of children of preschool and primary school age.
