Book description
Some of the fine research articles which have been published in
the Australasian Journal of Gifted Education in the past decade have
been selected to be included in this book. These articles reflect many
of the key issues that educators of the gifted and talented have been
debating as people's knowledge, teaching experiences and understandings have
developed.
For analytical and organisational purposes, the articles in this
book are grouped under the themes of: pedagogy and curriculum, policy and
practice, social and emotional needs, school and family, neuropsychology and
cognition, special populations.
In one respect, this volume seeks to stimulate further research in gifted education in Australia, and a willingness on
the part of researchers to disseminate their findings through the
Australasian Journal of Gifted Education in the decades to come.
