Title: Identification of the Gifted — Some Methodological Issues
Abstract: This article summarises basic elementary concerns with regard to gifted education. Identification and special educational provision for the gifted ate two sides of the same coin. One needs to identify a special child so that the child's special needs are taken care of. Without nurturance identification becomes meaningless. Identification also depends on the special purposes for which individuals are being identified. The problems which are associated with the identification of the gifted have their roots in the following areas: Definition of gifted or whom should we call gifted, In which areas we are identifying the gifted, Identification tools and their reliability and validity Target group, and The system followed for analysis of data for identification. I shall discuss each of these issues which, I feel, should be concern for all of us who are directly involved with gifted children and their education.
