Hi Researchers Community!!
I am initiating a very relevant and useful discussion aiming at generating focused ideas and knowledge of how a teacher handles or should handle gifted and brilliant students in a normal class having varied differences. As it is an established fact that 21st century learners are more creative, innovative and smart comparably, reason being their having easy and granted access to technology since their early age. They are more techno-friendly in comparison to older generation teachers. Today's classes have maximum diversity that existed never. Mostly it happens in case when a teacher faces bright and gifted learners in his normal class, they are overlooked and their special educational demands are hardly met. This problem has severed in modern time, and we can no longer treat creative students with unjust. The teacher should organise well thought strategies and approches to deal and handle exceptionally good students. How do you carry out this task in your class? You need to share your experience and knowledge here for the enlightenment of other fellow researcher. Your all sort of views are most welcomed in advance. Thank you in very much anticipation.

My colleagues and I issue a journal "Social Phenomena". It is an nonprofit independent platform for scholars who support the open science movement and wish to share their knowledge with others. The mission of our journal is to help authors share their ideas with the Russian-speaking scientific audience. We translate all articles into Russian and publish them for free in open access. We also do not charge authors any fees because we believe that there is no place for commerce in science.
The theme of the next issue is "Giftedness: the conditions and factors". We welcome all authors from various branches of science who are interested in this topic and want to make their research open to fellow Russian scholars.

I am talking about how gifted children in learning , and are ahead of the other kids in all subjects at school should be awarded?
Because telling them that they are geniuses and thank them in front of other children might have negative effects on them and their classmates as well . Sometimes those kids have a problem of being a show-off , and have difficultlies making friends.

Answer
Hi Salem, I think as long as praise is given equally, then this should never really become a problem. Much of the time children are often rewarded for 'participating' or are told that their work is 'excellent' when indeed it is not. Teachers often praise children in the wrong way, so that those that do show real promise often never know it, and those that are perhaps slower or even handicapped learners are always told they are doing a great job. It's all about striking balance in my experience (as a teacher).
If you treat each student as an individual, you can strike a rapport and professional relationship with them so that they can gain your professional trust - from here they will likely listen to advice you provide them with - be this praise, or from the perspective of "let's look at how we can make your efforts even better".
I agree with Douglas (above) in the idea that nobody should be calling any child a genius, as this will inevitably make those that are not being referred to as genius's feel negatively towards those that are.
Best of luck.

The human cost of what we don't know! A very important issue to raise and pursue at least now, rather than later!
"We wish for a world where ALL children can actualize their potential without fear of misdiagnosis, bullying, or isolation.
"Are misdiagnoses and mismedication really a problem? YES!"
"Professionals cannot diagnose what they do not understand"
"If we do not conduct research, we cannot increase understanding"
"I have little doubt you wish the same, but did you know that 1.4 million children in the United States alone are at risk of misdiagnosis and mismedication due to a lack of understanding about the affect being gifted has on their health and development? Did you know there is absolutely no required training for medical and mental health professionals to learn about how to recognize and respond to the physiological and psycho-emotional differences that gifted children experience each day?")

Answer
This is an important subject which requires "thorough" care. The way research is directed & how budgets are allocated for R&D have negative aspects since "influential" countries emphasize upon the increase of military power,through research, at the expense of "central" topics.
Nothing, on earth, is more important than the human beings and children ought to be the top priority to look after if we "really" aim at human welfare & progress.
There are many persons, including intellectuals, who do not have the "correct" perspective with respect to human potential & development. They may think of providing children with food & allowing them to play… and that is the end of the story. How mistaken they are.
We still live in a primitive world with regard to natural & human sciences. Isn't it absurd to claim advances in medicine while we see an increase in illnesses & failure of giving remedies for as simple as common colds ?!
There are many ideas in my mind but I need pages to write them down so I better stop here.

Hi,
The construct of self-regulation is very large. What  would you like to assess more exactly ? 
The measure HKTS for example is recognized as tapping the executive function processes of working memory, inhibitory control, executive attention and flexibility. It is a very good measure and has already been used in Turkey among children in kindergarten.

For doing my graduade thesis, Iam interest with measuring gifted. Actually ,I have bought manual and instrument screening for identification of the gifted, but I can't adapt it in my country, because I must buy a research translation license agreement application with a great price (the license would be for use in research only for a particular study). I mean, I am looking for people who can work together to develop their instrument in my country. thanks very much.

Answer
What constitutes 'gifted' is a highly debatable point. I suggest you start by identifying what key elements must be present in order to consider somebody 'gifted' by studying the literature base. When you have identified some common elements, you can construct your own scale to do this, and validate it against the one that you were going to translate.

from the perspective of a developing country it becomes important for the economy to invest and nurture the country's human resources. While it is quite evident that gifted children form an important social capital, who can contribute towards the development of the country in different endeavors. Planning for separate educational provisions is equally important for nurturing these talented children, however at the same time having separate educational provisions should not be consider as an elitist initiative as well.

Peak performance for smart kids: Strategies and tips for ensuring school success. Neihart, Maureen. Waco, TX, US: Prufrock Press, 2008.
Peak Performance for Smart Kids provides success strategies, activities, tools, real-life examples, and checklists for parents to employ to help their kids achieve to their highest potential. Even the most talented child will not succeed if he or she has not developed the mental, psychological, and emotional skills to face the heavy demands of high performance. Maureen Neihart, a psychologist and leading authority on talent development in children, examines seven mental habits of successful kids, providing practical approaches for developing them in talented children of all ages in this easy-to-read guide for parents and teachers. By working with parents to complete the activities included in this book, high-ability kids will learn to manage stress and anxiety, set and achieve goals, use mental rehearsal to improve performance, manage their moods and emotions, practice optimistic thinking, and resolve their frustrations of needing to belong while needing to achieve. With its research-based strategies and unique approach to maximizing potential, this is a book from which every parent of smart kids can benefit!
