Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues, 

The teaching and learning of advanced learners has evolved with the exigencies of Generation X (from 1985 to 1980), Millennials (from 1981 to 1996), and Generation Z (from 1997 to 2012). This Special Issue explains how researchers and educators observe changes in learning and teaching pedagogies over time. It features the typically effective and creative teaching and learning strategies that are befitting of advanced learners growing up in digital times while building upon the classical foundations of curriculum designs for gifted learners. This Special Issue will strengthen the fundamental development of high-order thinking and guide advanced learners towards discovery learning and the independent search for realities in life.

Aims and Scope:

  1. To identify suitable and future teaching and learning methods in the age of AI and ChatGPT that are commensurate with gifted and advanced learners in respective fields of academic and non-academic learning across ages, from pre-school to post-graduate levels.
  2. To feature empirical studies that show potential for the effective teaching and learning of gifted and advanced learners in various fields across ages, from pre-school to post graduate levels.
  3. To present empirical or theoretical evidence of inter-disciplinary learning for gifted and advanced learners in various fields across age.
  4. To showcase teaching and learning methods that develop:

(i) moral values;

(ii) positivity;

(iii) critical and creative thinking;

(iv) creativity;

(v) interpersonal or social skills;

(vi) motivation and volition;

(vii) emotional management in gifted and advanced learners in respective fields of academic and non-academic learning across ages, from pre-school to post-graduate levels.

  1. To present theoretical or empirical models for talent development for gifted and advanced learners in respective fields of academic and non-academic learning across age, from pre-school to post-graduate levels.

This article examines gifted students’ (ages 13–16) groupwork on a rich task in mathematics. This study was conducted in Norway, which has an inclusive education system that does not allow fixed-ability grouping. The purpose of this study was to better understand how to cultivate mathematical learning opportunities for gifted learners in inclusive education systems. The analysis was conducted from a multimodal perspective, in which students’ coordination of speech, gestures, and artifact use was viewed as part of their learning process. The findings contribute to discussions on gifted students as a heterogeneous group. Moreover, our analysis illustrates how giftedness can be invisible, leading to unrealized potential and low achievement. We suggest that more attention be paid to teaching by adapting to gifted students’ individual needs, particularly if the intention is to provide high-quality learning opportunities for gifted students in inclusive settings.
