Using a mixed-methods approach, 34 participants completed online surveys with 26 follow-up interviews. Findings showed the prevalence of financial constraints on individuals within the system, with three emerging themes: costs; demands on athletes; and potential funding support. “Pinch points”, causing the greatest severity of financial constraint, emerged further along the pathway and there were infrequent examples of mechanisms to identify talented athletes experiencing financial hardship. A means-tested system, premised on the demonstration of potential, is suggested by talent leads as a way of providing funding for athletes to ameliorate financial constraints in the future.","PeriodicalId":46343,"journal":{"name":"High Ability Studies","volume":"29 1","pages":"51 - 64"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2018-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13598139.2017.1341389","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46317853","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work addressed the interplay of different adaptive reactions to errors (affective-motivational adaptive and action-related adaptive reactions), a positive error climate in the learning context and cognitive abilities with regard to their effect on academic achievement. A longitudinal data set with 2092 students attending 74 classes was analyzed with a two-level path modeling approach (students in classrooms). The results confirmed the assumption that affective-motivational adaptive reactions to errors encourage action-related adaptive reactions to errors which, in turn, foster academic achievement. Furthermore, analyzes indicated that the relationship between a positive error climate in the classroom and academic achievements is mediated by students’ individual reactions to errors. In contrast to expectations, students with higher cognitive abilities did not show more adaptive reactions to errors.","PeriodicalId":46343,"journal":{"name":"High Ability Studies","volume":"29 1","pages":"37 - 49"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2018-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13598139.2018.1459294","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44566594","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most preschool and primary school teachers enter the profession without any training in the best practices for gifted children. This results in many misconceptions about giftedness and gifted education and a diversity of well-intentioned but ineffective interventions in the classroom. In response to the request for help from many schools, the Belgian expertise center “Exentra” designed a professional training program for in-service teachers with the aim to increase teachers’ understanding of the characteristics and needs of gifted pupils, and help teachers develop the necessary confidence and skills to effectively teach the gifted in regular, mixed-ability classes. This study shows that the Exentra training is effective in changing teachers’ beliefs about gifted education and enhancing teachers’ knowledge, abilities, and self-esteem to effectively modify the curriculum for the more capable pupils in the classroom.","PeriodicalId":46343,"journal":{"name":"High Ability Studies","volume":"29 1","pages":"22 - 3"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2018-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13598139.2017.1312295","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43261027","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Six outstanding scientists aged 33–42 were interviewed. Data were analyzed inductively resulting in three main dimensions: personality traits and characteristics, psychological skills and processes, and task-specific strategies. Researchers highlighted the importance of emotional factors and motivational processes to achieve and sustain scientific excellence. Flexible coping, emotion regulation, and goal setting were emphasized and described as particularly important in dealing with rejections, setbacks, and team management issues. Persistence and adaptive perfectionism were key individual characteristics which helped participants in nurturing and sustaining motivation. This study suggests that the specific impact of emotional, motivational, and other psychological skills at different stages of excellence development is relevant; yet, further investigation is needed.","PeriodicalId":46343,"journal":{"name":"High Ability Studies","volume":"28 1","pages":"249 - 264"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2017-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13598139.2016.1264293","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47927982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ziegler","doi":"10.1080/13598139.2017.1403090","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/13598139.2017.1403090","url":null,"abstract":"This issue of the High Ability Studies focuses from various perspectives on two topics: Sports and emotions. Martin, Ewing, and Oregon are interested in the role of specialization of athletes. In line with recent findings in skill development in the arts and in the academics, they find that early specialization is not required for an elite level performance. In the second article on sports, Tedesqui and Young investigated grit which received much attention in recent research. The authors summarized the results of their study that grit enables athletes to persist with practice activities which are crucial in expert sport development. In an article on emotions, Godor and Szymanski address an issue that has stirred up much controversy lately: Harmony theory posits that gifted students are well adjusted and successful in life, whereas disharmony theory maintains that giftedness forms a threat to a harmonious development. Analyzing PISA 2012 data, the authors found no evidence of gifted students being lonelier compared to non-gifted students. Indeed, the vast majority reported equal or higher levels of belonging. Thus, the results were clearly more concordant with harmony theory. In a highly interesting study, Hornstra, van der Veen, and Peetsma examined the effects of full-time and part-time high ability programs on high ability students’ achievement emotions. Main findings were that students, who attended full-time high ability programs, did not report more positive achievement emotions compared to students of similar ability levels within regular education. However, students in part-time programs experienced more positive and less negative emotions during the part-time program. The concept of over-excitabilities has recently been questioned by some authors. However, De Bondt and Van Petegem present a study in which over-excitability explains variations in learning patterns ranging from 3.3% for reproduction-directed learning to impressive 46.1% for meaning-directed learning. Furthermore, the authors found evidence for including emotion dynamics in the study of the learning process. Araújo, Cruz, and Almeida conducted a study with six outstanding scientists. Some of the key findings are that emotion regulation, flexible coping, and goal setting were identified as particularly important in dealing with rejections, setbacks, and team management issues.","PeriodicalId":46343,"journal":{"name":"High Ability Studies","volume":"28 1","pages":"147 - 147"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2017-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13598139.2017.1403090","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45576839","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Participants, 250 athletes (109 female; Mage = 23.40, SD = 10.14), completed the 12-item Grit Scale, practice measures, and reported their skill level (local to international). Factor analyses confirmed a 10-item two-factor model for use in our sport sample: consistency of interests (CI; 6 items; α = .81) and perseverance of effort (PE; 4 items; α = .75). A full latent variable model controlling for age showed PE significantly predicted weekly amounts of DP and engagement in mandatory and optional practice contexts; CI was inversely associated with threats to athletes’ sport commitment. Among senior athletes, both Expert and Advanced skill groups had higher PE levels than a Basic/Intermediate group, ps < .05.
