3.9.1 A Thirty-year Study on Identification Procedures and Program Options for Nebraska Gifted Middle School Students
This study reexamined the Nebraska schools surveyed in 1989 regarding their procedures for identification of and service for gifted middle school/junior high school students. The 2016 survey used a sample from respondents to the 1989 survey in order to determine the effects of the No Child Left Behind Act and budget cuts. 30 adults ages 25-65 were included in this study. This online survey used questions unchanged from the original 1990 survey.
