Personalizing Learning: Power, Preparation, & Possibilities

Teachers hold the majority of the power in classrooms; they control what and how students learn. The transfer of control from teacher to student distinguishes personalized learning from differentiated or individualized learning experiences. Years of research on motivation have reported the academic and emotional benefits of sharing control with students by creating opportunities for them to have a voice in the design and assessment of their learning. In the process, they develop their strengths, struggle to overcome obstacles, and become increasingly accountable for their growth from mistakes and accomplishments. Personalizing learning not only enhances engagement and development, it prepares learners to learn with greater passion and efficiency beyond school. These experiences are particularly empowering for individuals with the greatest potential to learn; however, even the most capable learners vary in their readiness to take responsibility for their learning. As well as relinquishing control, educators need to be prepared to support the development of their increasing autonomy. In British Columbia (Canada), our public schools are in the midst of this transition for all learners. It’s an exciting time to share the foundations, practices, and lessons learned. British Columbia’s high ability learners will speak for themselves, bringing life to the process with stories of personalizing their learning.

Culture and High Performance: Inclusive or Exclusive Practices?

Intervention strategies for high performers belonging to culturally diverse populations pose several challenges for professionals in schools and public policies as well as in the wider community. The major purposes of this keynote are to: (a) describe teachers’ perceptions about programs for high performing students following the cultural context; (b) analyze inclusive and exclusive provisions for high performers in Peru, underlining the cultural effect of social support; (c) discuss culturally sensitive intervention programs for young scholars in the Andean countries; and (d) present the challenges for future high performers belonging to the Latin American collectivistic context.

The first study explores the variables associated with teachers’ perceptions about intervention programs for high performing students in different cultural contexts of Latin America. Results reveal that the perception of “exclusive practices” might prevent certain intervention strategies (e.g., acceleration) from being applied in collectivistic groups, while “inclusive practices” are included in public policies. The second study explores the relationship between Academic Resilience, Achievement Goals and Implicit Theories of Intelligence in a senior class of the Peruvian Academy of High Achievers. Results revealed that the Mastery-Approach Goal became a mediating variable between the Incremental Theory of Intelligence and Academic Resilience, among other results. Study 3 follows a comparative study on creative performance and the classroom climate for creativity in high school students of Amazon rural and urban state-funded schools in Peru. Results will be discussed in relation to the challenges for high performers in collectivistic contexts for the future.

The Psychology of High Performance

Psychologists and educators, fascinated with the beauty, grace, and sheer brilliance of extraordinary performers, share many words to describe their interest in outstanding production and performance.  Texts on giftedness and talent tend to address what is known about identification, counseling, parenting, curriculum, or teacher preparation in a generic form – less on talent that is manifested developmentally in high performance within domains.  Certainly, focusing on advanced and brilliant young people with high grade point averages or IQs, and what can be done to support their continued growth is important.  Eventually, however, as individuals move into adolescence and adulthood, the label of gifted is less meaningful unless applied to advanced achievement and creativity in domains, fields, or professions.   Our work and that of collaborating scholars builds on studies developed and led by Benjamin Bloom and his colleagues (1985, Developing Talent in Young People), which explored similarities and differences in development between and among the domains of sport (tennis and swimming), arts (sculpture and piano performance), and academics (mathematics and neurology).  Bloom’s book continues to be cited frequently in academic and educational circles.  However, there has not been an update in over 30 years.  

This session explores what is involved in the manifestation of high performance, including the major role of psychosocial skills in varied domains. Much can be learned from domains where psychological science and practice are deeply embedded, such as in sport or business, and applied to less developed fields.  The session will end with a synthesis of important themes, highlighting similarities and differences across domains and gaps in the knowledge base, and providing some suggestions for future research on the psychology of high performance.

Unleashing Indigenous potential: The purpose, power, and promise of gifted education

One of the greatest challenges impacting gifted Indigenous students’ participation in education concerns the restoration and experience of cultural pride and efficacy in their lives. Low teacher expectations of Indigenous students, inappropriate gifted identification criteria, ruinous media misrepresentation, and internalised deficit thinking by Indigenous students themselves, are key reasons why Indigenous under-participation in gifted education exists and persists.In this presentation, I use Aotearoa New Zealand as a case study, focusing on how Māori identity development affects the wellbeing, motivation, and academic engagement of gifted Māori students. Along with describing the importance and manifestation of gifted potential in Māori students’ lives, I offer solutions for change using the findings of the Ka Awatea study (Macfarlane, Webber, McRae and Cookson-Cox, 2014). Five social-psychological themes concerning the personal, familial, school, and community conditions for gifted Maori students thriving are discussed: Mana Whānau (familial pride), Mana Motuhake (personal pride and a sense of embedded achievement), Mana Tū (tenacity and self-esteem), Mana Ūkaipo (cultural belonging and connectedness) and Mana Tangatarua (the ability to maximise their bi- and multi-cultural knowledge bases).

Finding and Nurturing Exceptional Intellectual Talent Over 45 Years: The Long-Term Impacts

The Study of Mathematically Precocious Youth (SMPY), based at Vanderbilt University, has been tracking more than 5,000 highly-talented individuals for more than 45 years. Most were identified through talent searches at around age 13. The study’s findings have overturned conventional wisdom about exceptional talent and have shed valuable light on the educational policies and resources needed to support this population. In this address, SMPY co-director Camilla P. Benbow will discuss important findings for gifted education to have emerged from the study. For example, SMPY has shown that the talented and high-achieving knowledge-workers needed by our conceptual economy can be identified as early as age 12. Even among the most talented (0.01 percent) there is no threshold effect for ability. More is always better. Nevertheless, the pattern of specific abilities (and interests) does matter for education as well as career choice. Differences are further reflected in adulthood, where gifted men and women weigh the importance of work, family, and personal variables differently—even as they construct satisfying lives for themselves. Overall, SMPY has demonstrated that educational interventions on behalf of gifted students have both short-term and long-term positive benefits.

Learning Resources and Talent Development

Within both research and practice, there has long been a profound interest in more than just the identification of gifted individuals, but also in what has been described as “gifted environments,” “smart contexts,” or “talent hotspots.” These concepts form the idea that not only do individuals differ in their potential to create extraordinary accomplishments, environmentsdiffer, too, in their potential to make extraordinary accomplishments possible. Indeed, talent hotspots are rich in terms of learning resources. Moreover, modern theories of talent development maintain that the target of gifted education is no longer the gifted individual, but the aggregate consisting of the individual and his or her material, social, and informational environments. Such a body – that is, the individual and her personal environment – is framed as an Actiotope in the Actiotope Model of Giftedness. Within said Actiotope, learning resources are located in both the environment as well as in the individual, thus making it necessary to devise a theory that encompasses both. Consider that exogenous learning resources lay outsideof the individual, while endogenous learning resources can be found withinthe individual. These resources serve two main functions: (1) endogenous learning resources are necessary to process and to make full use of exogenous learning resources; and (2) they govern effective actions. This presentation offers a comprehensive categorization of learning resources, including five categories of exogenous learning resources credited as educational capital, and five categories of endogenous learning resources deemed learning capital. Practical implications of learning resource orientation for talent development are discussed in relation to two areas: talent identification and learning resource management, which is further illustrated with examples.
