Concepts and definitions in the field of gifted education have been
unsettled and contested for many years, and interest in clarifying
notions of high ability has been growing. While discussions and
arguments are ongoing, most of them don't go deep enough or range
broadly enough to reveal the dogmatism that limits the perspectives
of professionals, policymakers, and other stakeholders in gifted
education. This book looks beyond the predominant conceptual
frameworks that dominate thinking about giftedness and talent.
Leading thinkers in the field of gifted education question
fundamental assumptions about high ability and probe the larger
contexts that influence gifted education. The first section of the
book includes explorations of big-picture issues pertaining to
fundamental assumptions about giftedness and talent. The second
section addresses ways in which economic and academic contexts in
today's globalized world can affect otherwise gifted minds. Section
three explores the effects of these contextual influences on
curriculum and instruction in the education of the highly able.
Finally, a synthesis chapter analyzes patterns in the other
contributions and makes recommendations for refinement of gifted
education.
