This study aimed to determine counseling needs of female gifted students in the Asir region, as well as to identify the differences in the level of needs among female gifted students due to the school stage, and develop a proposed counseling plan. The researchers selected a random sample of (339) female gifted students in middle and high school for the academic year 1439/1440 AH, who were classified as gifted according to the classification of the Ministry of Education in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, their ages ranging between (13-18) years. The number of female gifted students at Middle schools in the research sample were 163 students (48%) their ages ranged between 13-15 years with an average age of 13.97 year and a standard deviation of 0.765, but the number of female gifted students in the secondary schools of the study sample was (176) students (52%), their ages ranging between (16-18) years, with an average age of 17.06 year and a standard deviation of (0.886). The researchers applied the scale of counseling needs of gifted students(prepared by the researchers) on them. The results showed that the total score of counseling needs, educational counseling needs, psychological and social counseling needs of gifted students from the middle schools were high (76.895, 39.184, 37.716) respectively, and the total score of counseling needs, educational needs, psychological and social needs were also high among female gifted students at the secondary schools (77.364, 36.369, 40, 994) respectively. The results showed statistically significant differences at the level of (0.01) among the average scores of the educational counseling needs due to the school stage, the differences were in favor of female gifted students in the middle schools (t = 5.621), which was the highest educational counseling needs (t =7.923), while the differences in the total score of the counseling needs among middle and secondary schools female gifted students were not significant. score in the middle and secondary schools were not significant (t = 0.594).

Insight Into

Radical subject acceleration, or moving students through a subject area faster than is typical, including skipping grades, is a widely accepted approach to support students who are gifted and talented. This is done in order to match the student’s cognitive level and learning needs. This case study explored radical subject acceleration for gifted students by focusing on one school’s response to the learning needs of a ten year old mathematically gifted student. It provides insight into the challenges, accommodations and approach to radical subject acceleration in an Australian school. It explored the processes and decisions made to ensure that a gifted student’s learning needs were met and identified salient issues for radical subject acceleration. Lessons learned from this case study may be helpful for schools considering radical acceleration.

The current study aims at better understanding the factors that promote and hinder chemistry teachers in teaching a gifted student in their regular chemistry class. In addition, it provides evidence of ways that teachers perceive a professional development course dealing with a gifted student in a mixed-abilities science classroom. Eighty-four photonarratives were collected from 14 chemistry teachers that participated in the course about teaching a gifted student in a regular classroom (41 promoting, 43 hindering factors). Factors that concern chemistry education specifically as well as general practices were raised by the teachers. The teachers were asked to “take a picture” (namely, of an external object or person); they considered most of the factors to be internal factors that are dependent on themselves and therefore concluded that they have the power to influence them. The internal factors can be addressed in the PD course; however the external factors should be managed by the school principal and district educational administration.

Inquiry is a dynamic approach to learning and teaching that involves a process of experiencing the natural world. As they pose questions about the information, learners conduct research for genuine reasons, make new discoveries, and test their discoveries to generate new knowledge and understanding. Inquiry is an approach that fits the learning needs of both visually impaired students and students who are gifted, and is especially important for gifted students with visual impairments. We introduce readers to inquiry approaches, review the theoretical framework, outline the characteristics of inquiry learning, explain how these approaches are important to use with gifted children with visual impairments, provide examples, summarize research on the effectiveness of inquiry learning, give an example of science teaching using an inquiry learning model in a regular classroom setting, and show how this lesson could be an effective way to involve and challenge a gifted student with a visual impairment.

Individual Education

The talents of twice exceptional (2e) students are often hidden beneath the frustration and pain caused by years of educational misplacement. Finding and identifying them as gifted, in addition to recognizing disabilities and areas needing support, is a challenge. Identifying a gifted student with a disability requires comprehensive assessment with diverse tools that allow the examiner to see both strengths and weaknesses of an individual. Education and experience working with gifted students and special education students is invaluable in understanding the special needs of the 2e population and the unique ways they respond to assessment. With comprehensive assessment by qualified clinicians, more 2e kids will be accurately evaluated, identified, and served.

Although gifted students might be expected to welcome school tests and examinations as a means of attaining positive rewards, it is argued that the characteristics of gifted students such as a preference for self-initiated, independent learning make them particularly vulnerable to negative effects associated with assessment. Features of school assessment which are likely to have a harmful effect upon the gifted student's attitudes and intrinsic motivation are identified and approaches are suggested for improving assessment procedures.

Many gifted students are served through special programming. However, little large-scale information is available regarding the incidence of psychological disorders, medication requirements, and counseling histories in that population. This type of information is important to ensuring the well-being of gifted students, particularly those served through residential programming. This study reports the results of a review of medical information forms for over 1,900 gifted 8th–11th graders participating in a 3-week residential academic programs. Rates of diagnosed psychological disorders, medication prescriptions, and counseling needs are presented. In general, this sample reported low rates of psychological disorders, medication use, and counseling. Results are discussed in terms of program development and program policy issues.
