3.2.6 The Gifted Rating Scale for the Marginalised (GRSM)
The Gifted Rating Scale for the Marginalised (GRSM) was developed to identify gifted students from low-income families, providing rubrics for Likert scales. This study reports research findings on the validity and the reliability of the GRSM as well as its technical backgrounds. It is composed of 3 factors measuring cognitive ability, creativity, and practical problem-solving ability. Participants were 100 gifted and 67 non-gifted students (grades 2 and 3) from low-income families and 18 teachers. The results showed the efficiency of the GRSM in identifying low-income gifted students better than the most commonly used teacher referral checklist.
