But it often is expressed in the world in state-like terms—in response to challenging but often unpredictable situations where it is unclear who will rise to the challenges or even how we could know in advance who would be able to address the challenges at hand. Whereas traits tend to be stable, long term, and somewhat predictable in their manifestations, states tend to be unstable, often short term, and frequently unpredictable in the ways they manifest themselves. This article introduces the concept of state-giftedness. Because state-giftedness is not easily identifiable, everyone needs to be taught how to respond to the unexpected and unpredictable situations that will be consequential for their and others’ lives. Because of the unpredictability, these will be situations for which a ready repertoire of responses is neither available nor easily constructed.","PeriodicalId":46979,"journal":{"name":"Roeper Review-A Journal on Gifted Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46538277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is not something we are born with. It is not something that, for the most part, we learn in school. Rather, it is a choice that anyone can make—if they are willing to pay the price. This article discusses the gift of courage. It discusses what courage is, why it is important, and why it crucially needs to be incorporated into contemporary discourse about giftedness. It is courage, perhaps more than any other form of giftedness, that will determine what this world becomes—or does not become.","PeriodicalId":46979,"journal":{"name":"Roeper Review-A Journal on Gifted Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47497484","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The participants were randomly selected from several cohorts of gifted students who participated in an enrichment summer program. The enrichment program lasted for 4 weeks. The study instruments included the Problem Generation (PG) test and the Active-Openminded Thinking (AOT) scale, which were administered to the participants at the beginning of the program and at the end of the program. The change in the measured program outcomes after attending the robotics intervention program was assessed by a regression model, where posttest scores were regressed on pretest scores. The results revealed differences for the three subscales of AOT: Belief Identification (BI), Flexible Thinking (FT), and Dogmatic Thinking (DT) as well as the total score of the AOT in favor of posttest condition. Moreover, the results indicated that ninth graders benefited more from the enrichment program than eighth graders did. As for PF, fluency scores showed no significant differences between pretest and posttest, while originality scores were significantly higher for the posttest scores when compared to the pretest scores.","PeriodicalId":46979,"journal":{"name":"Roeper Review-A Journal on Gifted Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41671329","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Responses from a sample of 76-gifted participants to a 64-item survey offered insights about accelerated college-aged students’ perceptions of their intellectual and social growth, peer and family relationships, leadership ability, happiness, and peer acceptance. Self-perceptions of NAASE program effectiveness were generally positive. Not all abilities or skills were perceived as equally impacted as a function of participation in the NAASE program. Results add to the growing literature explicating the effects of participation in an early college entrance program on the development and peer relationships of gifted students.

This issue is exploratory, both conceptually and geographically. The contributing authors include eminent scholars who extend and refine our conceptions of giftedness. Other leading scholars establish the bases for enhancement of provisions for creative thinking, acceleration, and the strengthening of gifted programs. The issue also has an international flavor, drawing insights from various parts of the world. Robert Sternberg has done much to inject ethical awareness into the field while helping it align more effectively with 21st-century trends, issues, and contextual pressures. His article, The Most Important Gift of All? The Gift of Courage, adds much to that injection and alignment by showing how individuals can choose to develop and manifest an ability that is all too rare and of increasing importance in the turbulent complexities of the 21st-century. Howard Gardner is well known for designing ways to think differently about well-worn concepts in the field. Here he takes us on an expansive exploration of conceptual territory in his article, A “Smart” Lexicon. While reminding us that conceptions of intelligence are very diverse, he extracts the important skill of synthesizing from an array of other abilities to magnify its importance in today’s world. He recommends the magnification of synthesizing ability as a way to pull together the other intellectual capacities and make them more effective. In their article, Enhanced Open-Mindedness and Problem Finding Among Gifted Female Students Involved in Future Robotics Design, Alaa Eldin Ayoub, Ahmed Abdulla Alabbasi, Amal Alsubaie, Mark Runco, and Selcuk Acar investigated some interesting dimensions of creative thinking. They studied the ways in which robotics-based enrichment processes can help gifted female students strengthen their problem finding and open-minded thinking. Provisions for gifted education vary considerably around the globe. Maya Antoun, Margaret Plunkett, and Leonie Kronborg give us a helpful basis for international comparisons of provisions through their article, Gifted Education in Lebanon: Time to Rethink Teaching the Gifted. Their investigation revealed the nature and nuances of teacher beliefs and practices pertaining to giftedness and talent development. In their article, An Investigation of an Early College Entrance Program’s Ability to Impact Intellectual and Social Development, Jiaju Wu, Susan Assouline, Virginia McClurg, and Steve McCallum provide some helpful insights about the effects of a form of acceleration on various aspects of students’ growth including cognitive processes, social interactions, the emergence of happiness, and other processes and characteristics. Every issue of the Roeper Review also includes interviews with a prominent scholar of giftedness or creativity and a highly accomplished expert in a particular domain. We include these interviews to help us strengthen theory and research in gifted educa","PeriodicalId":46979,"journal":{"name":"Roeper Review-A Journal on Gifted Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43836168","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article outlines findings from a mixed method case study investigating the perceptions of more than 280 Lebanese teachers about educational approaches used to identify and teach highly able/gifted primary school students. Findings acknowledge reservations among teacher participants in relation to offering special services for gifted students. Although the analysis illustrated an overall lack of awareness of practices that have been identified in international research as effective for identifying and providing for gifted students, there was ample evidence of the desire of teacher participants to become more informed about evidence-based practice.
