Differentiating Giftedness from Talent e-bog

This comprehensive volume explores the origins, development, and applications for Francoys Gagne's Differentiating Model of Giftedness and Talent (DMGT).In an authoritative yet accessible style, Professor Gagn offers a holistic coverage of the DMGT, including its implications for the field, and its main divergent points with competing theories of talent development. Chapters guide readers through each of the five DMGT components, addressing the diversity of gifts, the contributions of Nature and Nurture, the most important personal qualities, the overemphasized power of outside agents, the key role of chance, and more.Filled with illustrative examples and vignettes from the author's estimable career, this book is the authoritative resource for researchers and students looking to understand the DMGT and its unique role in shaping gifted education as we know it today.
