Download or read book Teachers Perceptions of Creativity in Culturally and Economically Diverse Elementary School Females written by Gail Elizabeth Fiddyment and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creativity is widely recognized as an essential component of giftedness, but teachers' ability to recognize characteristics of creativity in diverse students is not clear. The purpose of this study was to investigate characteristics that teachers perceive as being associated with creativity, and whether or not these characteristics vary according to a student's race or ethnicity and socioeconomic status (SES). The study included the development and validation of an instrument, the Teachers' Perceptions of Creativity in Students - Female (TPCS-F). Vignettes depicting students of different racial/ethnic and SES backgrounds were used to create an online survey instrument, which was found to be valid and reliable in the pilot study, and subsequently used to gather teachers' perceptions of creativity in culturally and economically diverse students. Pilot study participants included graduate students, while research study participants were classroom and gifted teachers within the state of Georgia. The results of both studies indicated that teachers were significantly more likely to recognize creative characteristics in the behaviors of upper middle SES students than in their middle or lower SES peers, although the pilot study found an interaction between race and SES, indicating the teachers rated upper middle SES students higher only in some racial or ethnic groups. High levels of inter-item and inter-rater reliability were demonstrated in both studies. Future research is needed to identify possible reasons for differences in teachers' perceptions, and ways that training may help teachers understand behaviors associated with giftedness and creativity in culturally and economically diverse students.

Download or read book Recruiting and Retaining Culturally Different Students in Gifted Education written by Donna Y. Ford and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2021-09-09 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One pervasive educational issue is the national underrepresentation of Black and Hispanic students in gifted education. Virtually every school district is grappling with having too few students from these groups identified as gifted and served in gifted classes and programs. Recruiting and Retaining Culturally Different Students in Gifted Education addresses this long-standing national problem through the dual lens of recruitment and retention. The focus is on how to equitably recruit (screen, refer, and/or assess) culturally different students and, just as importantly, to retain them. Recruitment and retention require providing academic, cultural, and social supports to culturally different students and ensuring that educators are willing and able to address issues and barriers. No time is better than now to address and correct the underachievement albatross, and the focus on recruitment and retention holds the greatest promise.

This book was released on 2013-04-20 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the needs of creatively gifted students and how schools can meet those needs. Creatively gifted students show exceptional levels of creativity. These students may or may not have developed other talents and abilities, yet. Even when their abilities and talents are apparent, the needs of creatively gifted students may not be recognized by current gifted education programs. Regardless of whether a creatively gifted student is included in these programs, schools often inadvertently ignore their special needs. The goal of this book is to share the newest research about the attributes and needs of creatively gifted students and the kinds of programs that best address those special needs. The overarching goal of this book is to share with scholars, educators, and practitioners the latest research on creatively gifted students and the kinds of programs that best meet the unique needs of these students. Through the knowledge and experiences shared here, we hope to help close the gap between what these children need and what they are getting.
