Brief History of the Field
• Brief History of the Field– First Half of the Twentieth-Century: Pioneering the field
• Development of intelligence tests (IQ or intelligence quotient)• Nature v. nurture theory of intellectual development
– The 1950s - 1970s: Establishing foundations• Nature of Human Intelligence (Guilford, 1967) describes 120
different kinds of intelligences• The National Association for Gifted Children began in 1954• American reaction to the Soviet launch of Sputnik leads to
mathematics and science education reforms• PL 94-142 does not include services for children who are gifted and
talented. Mandates for education services are the result of state legislation.

• Instructional strategies– Curriculum compacting: Reduced time spent on basic concepts
to allow for expanded learning– Higher-level thinking and problem solving: Provide
opportunities for students who are gifted and talented to develop their higher level thinking and problem solving skills.
– Flexible grouping: Grouping designed to match ability rather than age level.
– Cluster grouping: Grouping several students who are gifted and talented together for instructional purposes
– Tiered assignments: Lesson variations based on students’ ability levels
– Problem-based learning: Students are asked to solve real-world problems
– Accelerated pacing of instruction: Students who are gifted and talented may become bored or disruptive if they are not challenged in the classroom. Faster pacing allows them to move at a pace that fosters their learning and educational progress.

– Twice exceptional learners• Stereotypes often assume that people with disabilities cannot
also be gifted or talented. Many students who are gifted or talented may also have a disability. Stephen Hawking, a theoretical physicist, is a famous example. A combination of learning factors may make correct diagnosis difficult.– Twice exceptional: a child who is identified as gifted and has an
another disability– Students with gifts and talents and disabilities may be overlooked due
to cultural biases or stereotypes– Giftedness may mask learning disabilities and the student will perform
at average levels– Giftedness may be misidentified as ADHD– Require special educational considerations

– Girls who are gifted learners• It may seem odd to include girls in the section devoted to diversity but there is ample
evidence to suggest that girls are often underrepresented in programs for students who are gifted and talented. These statistics may be due to gender-role cultural stereotypes, unequal educational opportunities, and expectations of the school, family, and the girl.
– Identifying and serving children from diverse backgrounds• There are challenges involved in locating, identifying, and serving young children who
are gifted and talented and come from diverse backgrounds or low socioeconomic groups. The underrepresentation of these children in programs for the gifted and talented may be due to variable such as poverty, test bias, faulty identification policies, conflicting cultural values, teacher attitudes and expectations, and rigid definitions of giftedness.
– Cultural characteristics associated with giftedness• Ten attributes of giftedness were identified in African American, Native American,
and Hispanic children: communication skills, imagination/ creativity, humor, inquiry, insight, interests, memory, motivation, problem solving, reasoning.
