Gifted education has come to be regarded as a key national
programme in many coutnries, and gifted education in science
disciplines is now being recognised to be of major importance for
economic and technological development. Despite these initiatives
and developments internationally, there are very few discussions on
gifted education in science drawing upon practices and experiences
in different national contexts. In support of an international
dialogue between researchers and practitioners, often working
within isolated traditions, this book offers information on key
influential approaches to science education for gifted learners and
surveys current policy and practice from a diverse range of
educational contexts. The volume offers an informative introduction
for those new to studying gifted science education, as well as
supporting the development of the field by offering examples of
critical thinking about key issues, and accounts of the influences
at work within education systems and the practical complexities of
providing science education for the gifted. The contributions draw
upon a variety of research approaches to offer insights into the
constraints and affordancxes of working within particular policy
contexts, and the strengths and challenges inherent in different
approaches to practice. Chapters include: Teaching science to the
gifted in English state schools: locating a compromised 'gifted
& talented' policy within its systemic context Models of
education for science talented adolescents in the United States:
Past, present, and likely future trends Navigating the shifting
terrain between policy and practice for gifted learners in Tanzania
Science education for female indigenous gifted students in the
Mexican context Gifted Science Education in the Context of Japanese
Standardization This book will appeal to scholars, practitioners
and policy makers who are in the field of gifted science education.
