Welcome Change of Focus from Individual Identification to a Systemic Process in Gifted Education
Chessor, Danuta
High Ability Studies, v23 n1 p35-37 2012
In this commentary on Ziegler and Phillipson's article, "Towards a Systemic Theory of Gifted Education" (this issue), the author states her opinion that their alternate way of viewing gifted education is pedagogically sound. What Ziegler and Phillipson propose is creating a system where the interaction between action repertoires and the environment are systematically developed and individually determined so that the best possible fit can result for any individual. Chessor states that this model has great merit and should be considered seriously in the education of gifted children.
