The continual successes of students from East-Asia are confirmed in
a variety of international tests of academic achievement and yet,
despite this attainment, many scholars have realised that a
substantial proportion of these students are also underachieving.
Using the actiotope model of giftedness to integrate a broad range
of research, this innovative book features a number of chapters
written by internationally recognised scholars in a frank and
lively discussion about the origins of exceptionality in students
from East Asia. With the actiotope model as the theoretical
framework, the book distinguishes between trait models of
giftedness and systems approaches to exceptionality. Breaking new
ground in understanding the complex interactions between a
learner's environment, goals, intelligence and motivations in the
development of their ever-expanding knowledge and skill set, this
book will: describe, with examples, a systems approach to the
development of exceptionality, allowing educators and researchers
the ability to track students with greater precision; influence the
means by which educators identify and support students with the
potential for exceptional performance; suggest possible reasons for
the variability in the achievement of potentially gifted students;
provide strategies to support these students; have a profound
effect on the way that exceptionality and giftedness are defined
and understood, not only in East Asia but also in the West.
Covering issues that have firm theoretical foundations and which
are based on cutting edge ideas, Exceptionality in East Asia has
significant implications for gifted education and is essential
reading for scholars, undergraduate and postgraduate students
interested in the psychological and social basis of exceptionality.
