5.5.6 Some Dimensions of Gifted Anxiety and the Prospect of the Future of Education and Life
The gifted and talented adolescents have the right to enjoy psychological and educational care that responds to the growth of their personalities which are usually described as different from each other. Among the main questions raised by this intervention is the degree of anxiety in this age group compared to other groups such as students in regular educational institutions within one society and compared with other Arab and Western societies. The researchers relied on the measure of concern of talent consisting of 35 items prepared by Muhammad Jamalallail ( 2017). The researchers conducted the survey on a section of talented students (25 from the Sfax Model Institute at the second year secondary level and 30 talented students in mathematics at the second and third secondary levels of the Al-Kubba mathematics secondary school in Algeria during 2018 and 2019. The present study (especially its analytical results by adopting the measures of central tendency and analysis of variance in one wayAnova) will focus on some cultural characteristics of the Tunisian sample compared to the Algerian sample (although the participants are Arab, Islamic, Maghreban and North African). Especially the items considered by the outstanding students to be the most discriminating of their behavior, namely the item 24, which is concerned with the absence of leisure time to enjoy. Which is confirmed in the frequency-related item 10 when starting a more talent-related activity than the study. In this sense pupils (students) in general and those with high abilities (gifted and talented students and innovators) have the right to enjoy psychological and educational care that responds to the realization of the diversity of their life, or sports and other school and non-school activities. This will be discussed also through the results of the current study of the Tunisian and Algerian samples as compared to the results of the general study mentioned above, and concerning the Saudi, Omani and Lebanese samples, which means a preliminary comparison between East and West Arab Islamic countries, in parallel with the comparison of the results of studies, in Western countries, especially American and European, between the North and the South.
