Abstract

ABSTRACT Gifted education in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has developed significantly since its tentative beginnings in 1969. Increasingly, however, there are concerns that gifted education is not meeting its objectives. Based on the Ziegler-Balestrini-Stoegerian framework, we evaluate Saudi gifted education from a macro-systemic perspective, including the identification of the ten important exogenous and endogenous capitals and the six principles (law of the minimum, continuity, developmental level, support systems, control system and external management). Using information obtained from 25 source documents, we conduct an automated content analysis using Leximancer to find information related to each of the ten capitals and six principles. Our finding that the absence of a clearly articulated set of objectives and expected outcomes impact the system on many levels, and that, at best, Saudi gifted education is best described as a proto-system.

沙特资优教育现状与未来展望:宏观系统视角

沙特阿拉伯王国的资优教育自1969年试探性开始以来，已经有了显著的发展。然而，越来越多的人担心，天才教育并没有达到它的目标。基于Ziegler-Balestrini-Stoegerian框架，我们从宏观系统的角度对沙特的资优教育进行了评估，包括确定了10个重要的外生资本和内生资本以及6个原则(最小法则、连续性、发展水平、支持系统、控制系统和外部管理)。使用从25个源文档中获得的信息，我们使用lexximancer进行自动内容分析，以查找与10个大写字母和6个原则相关的信息。我们发现，缺乏一套清晰的目标和预期结果在许多层面上影响了这个系统，而且，充其量，沙特的天才教育最好被描述为一个原型系统。

期刊介绍： High Ability Studies provides a forum for scholars in a variety of disciplines associated with the development of human abilities to their highest level. It is a medium for the promotion of high ability, whether through the communication of scientific research, theory, or the exchange of practical experience and ideas. The contents of this journal are unique in reflecting concerns and recent developments in this area from childhood and across the whole life span in a variety of contexts. Far from being restricted to the traditional focus on high-level cognitive development, it also presents investigations into all other areas of human endeavour, including sport, technology, the arts, business, management and social relations.
