In France, many social representations refer to gifted children who describe them as hypersensitive, curious, and creative. Although sometimes inaccurate, these representations can be conveyed in media intended for children and contribute to an erroneous transmission of characteristics of children with particularities. The objective of this study was to identify the social representations of gifted characters in French children’s literature. For this, we used a coding grid to analyze a corpus of 23 French books. The grid was designed based in the emotional and creative characteristics and their associated behaviors. Results showed that the representations of the gifted characters in the books studied were stereotypical, particularly in terms of their emotional characteristics. Applications and perspectives for future studies are discussed. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved) (Source: journal abstract)

In contrast to intellectual giftedness reflected in high academic performance and often measured by IQ tests, there is growing recognition that other forms of giftedness exist. This paper focuses on creative giftedness, defined as high potential to produce work that is original and context appropriate. After a brief introduction to the psychological basis of creative giftedness, the role of school context in the development of creative potential is highlighted. Then an empirical study suggesting that creative potential is influenced by educational context is presented; pupils attending traditional and Montessori schools in France were compared on a set of creativity tasks in both the graphic and verbal domains. Cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses were conducted as children were seen at two measurement occasions, with approximately one year delay. Results indicated greater scores on measures of creative potential for children in the Montessori context. The discussion situates the results in a broader context of issues concerning the development of creative giftedness through education.

Numerous authors propose that creativity is an important component of giftedness. Creativity—the capacity to generate ideas that are new and adaptive—will be examined in terms of its neurocognitive, conative and environmental foundations. For example, research indicates that gifted children show a high degree of integrated interhemispheric coordination favouring cognitive flexibility and divergent thinking. Furthermore, concerning conative factors, such as curiosity, perfectionnism, a thirst for knowledge, and novelty-seeking are linked to high creative potential. In terms of the environment, research shows that some pedagogies improve children's creative potential. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved) (Source: journal abstract)

This chapter develops the perspective of giftedness in France implemented at the National Center for Assistance to children and adolescents with High Potential (CNAHP). First, we present the debate about the terminology used to describe gifted children in France which varies according to the underlying theoretical conceptions and representations (e.g., gift, precocity, talent, or potential). The term high potential has been preferentially chosen given that it reflects both the cognitive capacities of children and adolescents (high intellectual and/or creative potential), and the fact that this potential can be expressed or inhibited by their difficulties (emotional, behavioral, and/or school problems).Then, the multidimensional and integrative approach to identify high intellectual and/or creative potential at the CNAHP is examined. We propose a model that highlights the central role of the environment in the development of intellectual/creative potential in children, notably their family, school, and societal environment. Four main environmental factors contribute to the development and expression of children’s high potential: fostering and sustaining motivation, providing opportunities of enrichment, valuing effort, and offering support for the child. After identification of the child’s profile (based on cognitive, conative, and psycho-affective assessments) in order to understand better the child’s needs and possible difficulties, the objective of the CNAHP, presented in the last part, is to provide appropriate care, enhance children’s well-being, and enable them to express and develop their potential. Simultaneous interventions are conducted in the family, school, and societal environments in collaboration with parents, teachers, and caregivers, taking into account the motivation, enrichment, effort, and support factors.

The authors grapple with the fundamental questions surrounding creative giftedness and talent, addressing issues of definition, development, identification and education. They recommend infusing creativity into teacher development, as well as taking it into consideration in gifted identification and curriculum design and delivery, and also affirming the importance of supporting the development of creative giftedness in all students.
