Detection of High Abilities: An Empirically Evidenced Alternative to Biased Detection
Students with high ability (HA), due to their differential characteristics, need to receive a specific educational response for the adequate development of their potential. Thus, they must be detected and then identified, but many of these students (around 9.5%, based on prevalences of domain-specific definitions) remain unidentified, especially among girls. The low detection of highly able students raises the need to establish more objective and…
Quality of Life in Gifted and Non-Gifted Students in Portugal: Evidence from the KIDSCREEN-27
This study examined the perceived quality of life of Portuguese gifted students compared with their non-gifted peers using the KIDSCREEN-27, a widely used instrument for assessing health-related quality of life in children and adolescents. Quality of life is the subjective perception of overall well-being resulting from the interaction of physical, psychological, social, and environmental factors. Previous research suggests that high intellectual…
Gender, perfectionism, and long-term goals in adolescents

Among them is perfectionism, understood as the tendency to set high standards of performance, or grit , defined as perseverance in achieving long-term goals. The aim of this work is to study the relationship between both variables and to analyse possible gender differences. For this purpose, a sample of 246 adolescents from seven s…

Differences in socio-emotional competencies between high-ability students and typically-developing students
Introduction Social and emotional competencies play a fundamental role in students’ overall development.

From a sample of 143 students, of whom 51 were identified as having high abilities, differences in socio-emotional skills dimensions we…
Training of health science professors to support the education of high-ability university students
Teacher training for high ability students represents a critical need that has been neglected. In this context, it is essential to implement programs that demystify high abilities and provide teachers with effective tools to inspire and challenge these students. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact and satisfaction of a course-workshop offered to university professors for the educational attention of students with high abilities. For …
The Effects of Attitudes towards Mathematics and STEM Education on High-Ability Students and a Community Sample
Mathematic proficiency has long been associated with the male gender and with high levels of intelligence. Similarly, STEM careers have been linked to the male gender, so both ideas are central to the present article. This study aims to observe differences in attitudes towards mathematic and STEM careers, considering, on the one hand, gender differences and, on the other hand, intelligence, separating the latter variable into a high-ability group…

O estudo apresenta desenho analítico, observacional e de corte transversal e contou com a participação de 188 estudantes universitários com e sem altas capacidades provenientes de univers…
Parental Evaluation of the Socio-Personal Adjustment of High Ability Students in a Cluster Grouping Program
High ability students have differential cognitive characteristics that require a specific educational response to develop their full potential. Cluster ability grouping is one of the available approaches to respond to their training. One of the main criticisms of this teaching method, also supported by the big-fish-little-pond effect (BFLPE), is that high ability students may show a decrease in their self-concept. The aim of this research is to p…
Differences between Creativity and Gender in Students with High Abilities Attending a School with Total Grouping
The main conclusions are the importance of increasing creativity with specific programs and the need to improve interventions in graphic creativity
El Programa Integral Para Altas Capacidades (Pipac): 18 Años De Experiencia
El alumnado más capaz, debido a sus características diferenciales, requiere de una respuesta educativa específica. Sin embargo, aún queda camino por recorrer en este sentido, ya que su detección e identificación está muy por debajo de los estándares señalados por los expertos y la respuesta educativa necesaria sigue siendo insuficiente. Por tanto, es imprescindible diseñar programas, tanto intra como extraescolares que, además, incorporen a la fa…
