ABSTRACT
@#Gifted and talented students are different from the other normal students and special attention is needed for due to their high cognitive ability and their socio-emotional conditions. Literatures show shortcomings and ineffectiveness of the counselling services to the gifted and talented students. The lack of effective interventions and approaches targeted to the students hinders the understanding on the importance of counseling services to the students. Hence, this study aims to explore the school counseling services for gifted and talented students. Based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, 10 articles were selected and reviewed. Findings from different journal sources conducted in different countries were assimilated to attain better understanding of the relevance of school counseling services to gifted and talented students. The role of the school counselors and the challenges in the school counseling services were also identified from the articles.
ABSTRACT
Este artículo describe las concepciones de trece profesores de segundo ciclo de educación básica, de tres colegios de la Región Metropolitana de Chile, en torno a los estudiantes con talento académico y su educación. Se utilizó una metodología cualitativa enmarcada en los principios de la Grounded Theory, y se recolectaron los datos a partir de la aplicación de dilemas y entrevistas semiestructuradas. Los resultados muestran el desarrollo cognitivo, social y emocional como marcadores distintivos en niños con talento; el origen del talento como factor determinante; la graduación del talento como factor diferenciador; los ambientes enriquecidos como factores po-tenciadores del talento, y el reconocimiento de un sistema educativo que homogeniza la educación y no reconoce las diferencias. El análisis relacional destaca tres fenómenos que ponen en evidencia una concepción más contemporánea del talento académico: el reconocimiento de niños con talento académico en el aula, el rol del profesor en el desarrollo y potenciación del talento académico y la educación como una oportunidad de movilidad social. Para concluir, se reafirma la necesidad de considerar concepciones menos tradicionales, así como la posibilidad de generar instancias formativas en las que la educación de niños con talento sea responsabilidad de todos los profesores. Asimismo, se señala cómo las limitaciones de este estudio dan apertura a nuevas líneas de indagación.
