Ye | Paper | The Affect of a Guided View of Films in the Gifted Underachiever
| Presenters |
Ye, Li-Chun; Lai, Tsuei-Yuan. National Changhua University of Education, Taiwan |
| Abstract |
This research was sought to investigate how guided viewing of a films program affects the underachieving, gifted elementary students in Taiwan. This program originated with bibliotherapy and serves as a self-discovery therapy through the viewing of films. Participants are gifted sixth-graders. Experimental methods are applied through a pre- and post-test, one group design. A twenty-hour or ten- week program is delivered, and analysis is based on feedback sheets, questionnaires, and interviews. Results indicated that a guided view of films significantly influences the participants’ social and emotional concepts. Positive attitudes were expressed towards this experiment by the participants and by their classroom teachers. Several suggestions for applying a guided view of films were made to teachers and parents. |

Yoon | Paper | Differences of IQ and Creativity Scores between Asian and American Gifted Students
| Presenters |
Yoon, Chris. Azusa Pacific University, California, USA |
| Abstract |
This study compared the performance of gifted Asian American and Caucasian elementary students on measures of creativity and intelligence. The study also investigated if there were any gender differences in measures of creativity and intelligence. Seventy-one Asian American students and seventy-five Caucasian students participated in this study, 77 females and 69 males. Among the Asian American students, there were 33 Chinese, 17 Korean, 9 Japanese, and 12 Southeast Asian (Laotian, Cambodian and Vietnamese) students. Participants were administered two instruments: the Standard Progressive Matrices for measuring intelligence and the Torrance Test of Creative Thinking, Form A for measuring creativity. Findings of the study indicated that there were no statistical or practical significant differences in measures of intelligence and creativity for race or gender. Additionally, findings suggested that there were no statistical significant differences in measures of intelligence and creativity among the Asian American subgroups. |

Young Ju | Poster | Creativity among Gifted, ADHD, and General Students
| Presenters |
Lee, Young Ju; Jung, Hyun-Chul; Heo, Namyoung. KAIST Institute for Gifted Students, Chungnam National University, Korea |
| Abstract |
Many gifted children exhibit behaviors associated with a diagnosis of ADHD and demonstrate superior creativity. According to previous studies, creativity is related to a more adventurous, nonconforming, and impulsive cognitive style. Given that children with ADHD are more impulsive, this study examined the relative performance of gifted (n=108), ADHD (n=53), and general students (n=133) on the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TTCT) and the relationship between creativity and the Conners Teacher Rating Scale (CTRS). The gifted students in science obtained the highest scores overall on the TTCT in fluency, originality, and elaboration. On the other hand, gifted students in mathematics scored highest in resistance to premature closure. ADHD students scored higher on fluency, but lower in originality and elaboration than general students. Correlations between the creativity and CTR were significant among ADHD groups. Although the present study is limited by using only one measure of creative thinking, this topic will be helpful for developing a comprehensive understanding of creative abilities. |

Yu | Paper | Professional Training for Teachers in Science Reading and Concept Mapping
| Presenters |
Yu, Hsiao-Ping. Department of Special Education, National Taichung University, Taiwan |
| Abstract |
This presentation highlights the results of a two-day workshop in which 42 high school and secondary teachers for the gifted participated. The workshop included lectures on science education and science text analysis and some sharing of experiences about concept-mapping teaching from several experienced teachers. Teachers were divided into groups in which they read science articles and analyzed and conceptualized the information through concept maps. They then shared their results with each other. Most teachers agreed that there was no time to read extracurricular science books and that it took too much time to teach concept mapping; however, most teachers felt that it was very important to encourage students to read science articles and related informational texts and that they would be willing to teach the strategy of concept mapping in their science classrooms. Finally, some suggestions were proposed to help educators teach these concepts based on the grades they teach. |

Yu | Paper | A Study of Gifted Students’ Reading Comprehension Processes of Science Texts
| Presenters |
Yu, Hsiai-ping. National Taichung University, Taiwan / Wu, Yu-ya; Sun, Yu-Chin; Chen, I-Fan; Liao, Su-Fan. Taipei First Girls High School, Taiwan |
| Abstract |
The authors’ research examined the comprehension process of the gifted when reading a scientific textbook and their understanding of its context and problems through peer dialogue and quality analysis. This research also looked at teaching strategies that can improve the cognitive and emotional development of the gifted by providing occasions for reading scientific textbooks and articles. Finally, it found students lacked the applicable repertoire to understand the science textbooks fully and that they took too much time to verify the basic knowledge. The research also found that concept mapping is a good strategy to help students understand the connections among science concepts. Presenters will propose some suggestions for educators according to the findings of the research. |

Yuen | Paper | Career Life Skills, School Connectedness, and Leadership Talent among High-Ability Adolescents
| Presenters |
Yuen, Mantak; Fong, W. Ricci. The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong |
| Abstract |
The purpose of the study reported here was to assess and investigate self-efficacy in applying career life skills, school connectedness, leisure activities, and leadership talent in a sample of high-ability students in Hong Kong. Correlations among variables comprising measures of career self-efficacy and school connectedness were examined. Participants were assigned to one of two groups: those without leadership talent and those with leadership talent. Comparison of group means revealed that those with leadership talent reported more time spent in physical activities and reading, as well as achieving higher scores in school connectedness and self-efficacy. Limitations of the study and the implications for future research and for career guidance and leadership education in schools will also be discussed. |

Yıldız | Paper | New Research on the Education of Gifted and Talented Children and Student Comments
| Presenters |
Yıldız, Hasan, Ankara Science And Arts Center, Türkiye; Çalışkaner, Taşkın, Ankara Science And Arts Center, Türkiye; Aksu, Mehmet, Ankara Science And Arts Center, Türkiye;Agaoğlu, Onur, Ankara Science And Arts Center, Türkiye. |
| Abstract |
The Ankara Science and Art Center is an organization dedicated to developing instructional activities with and for gifted and talented children. We aim to instruct these children using new techniques, with consideration to how these children want to learn and then locate and create new techniques to address their requirements and demands. Our research encompasses our working with 100 gifted and talented students in an age range from of 9 to 15 years. Using standard tests to determine their intellectual-ability level, we selected students with an IQ of higher than 130. We, then, provided them with instruction based on practices commonly used with gifted and talented children. In our research, we conducted a survey with this group and followed it up with one-on-one interviews. Our project culminated with an analysis and evaluation of the data and locating and developing new, specific, instructional methods for our students. |
