Gifted Students

The identification of giftedness started when IQ tests were introduced to schools. Since then, giftedness became an important issue for schools as they presented special challenges. During the 20th century, IQ tests specified the gifted students. The definition of giftedness in each school played a key role in identifying gifted students.

There are two perspectives toward giftedness:
  • Old theorists said that intelligence is fixed characteristics, it is only genetically determined and it doesn’t increase or decrease across time.

  • Modern theorists said that intelligence is influenced by both genetics and environment. It’s a dynamic characteristic and it’s not signaled only by a high IQ score.
But the conventional definition of gifted and talented children are those who are capable of high performance. These students receive educational services beyond those normally provided by regular school programs due to their special talents and exceptional creativity.

Early STEAM Learning with LEGO Education: All Aboard the Coding Express

  The webinar I attended was about LEGO and its contribution in learning. The idea of this is that all children are born equal and creative. STEAM is touching and manipulating, it is learning through touching stem things or real life evidence. Learning is a right for all human beings no matter what gender, race or age. STEAM is just for everyone, to prepare all students to be successful and give them what they deserve. Teachers should boost the children's confidence from early ages and help them succeed by providing a suitable environment for them and using tools in learning such as toys.   The most important thing is how to express yourself, what you want and what you need.
