Biographical Data

Highly creative adolescents (N = 319) were divided into 12 criterion groups of original thinkers and good elaborators on the basis of two scales, originality and elaboration, of Torrance's (1962) Minnesota Tests of Creative Thinking. These tests were initially administered to 112 public high school seniors, who were the total population. The criterion groups then completed a life experience inventory to isolate the biographical data associated with the development of these thinking abilities. Significant chi squares were found on 35 percent of the items differentiating original thinkers from good elaborators and from those students highest in both abilities. Previous research successfully identifying creative persons through biographical data was supported.

AbstractSupporting students with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) in inclusive settings presents both opportunities and significant challenges to school communities. This study, which explored the lived experience of nine students with ASD in an inclusive high school in Australia, is based on the belief that by listening to the voices of students, school communities will be in a better position to collaboratively create supportive learning and social environments. The findings of this small-scale study deepen our knowledge from the student perspective of the inclusive educational practices that facilitate and constrain the learning and participation of students with ASD. The students' perspectives were examined in relation to the characteristics of successful inclusive schools identified by Kluth (2003). Implications for inclusive educational practice that meets the needs of students with ASD are presented.

The article summarises the preliminary results of a three-stage study of the influence of the socio-cultural context on the life and educational manifestations of modern high school students. Firstly, data on the Russian representatives of «Generation Z» were specified. At the second stage of the research, the manifestations of «Generation Z» representatives, regarding everyday school life were studied. At the third stage of the research, there were analysed different educational learning situations as opportunities for senior students to show the behavioural and intellectual characteristics inherent in the digital generation. The main results of the study make it possible to set new tasks in the study of the socio-cultural context of the educational situation of modern high school students.
