Three Perspectives for Assessing and Monitoring Talent Development: A Holistic Theoretical Approach with Empirical Applications
Gifted Education International, v41 n2 p161-181 2025
The study of giftedness and evolution toward talent development models have been approached mostly from an educational perspective. Talent potential development cannot be understood without comprehensively looking at all individuals' facets. This work proposes a theory by which talent potential, considered by the conjunction of cognitive and non cognitive individual traits, is evolutionary and dynamical, and can be manifested into three different talent dimensions that represent contributions to social development, knowledge and individuals' psychological balance. The holistic approach allows for cross-cultural conceptions of talent, and more flexible and dynamic organizations of education, which entail the recovery of individuals' potential and provides opportunities in any development stage. The paper provides a framework with quasimathematical notation for its empirical application in research and talent management.
