The author illustrates the importance of honoring cultural differences as they lead to different conceptions and experiences of what giftedness is, how it develops and how it is best fostered. His chapter on lay conceptions of gifted education in China provides a window on the kinds of fresh conceptions that can be useful to educators and psychologists everywhere. He concludes his chapter and this thematic section by discussing the Chinese practice of ren (benevolence), suggesting the integration of a socio-emotional component into gifted education by fostering the self-cultivation that transforms and changes one's beliefs, attitudes, and values, and leads to a deep concern for the well-being of others.

In the discourse on the intellectual styles of exceptional learners, three specific issues readily present themselves. The first issue is the diversity of exceptional learners. By exceptional learners, one refers to a heterogeneous group of learners that includes, among others, learners with dyslexia, learners with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), learners with autism spectrum disorder, and highly able or gifted learners. The question is whether there are distinct intellectual styles or profiles of styles for distinct groups of exceptional learners. The second issue has to do with the connection between abilities and styles. Perhaps what set exceptional learners apart from normal nonexceptional learners are their profiles of marked strengths and weaknesses, which are likely to correspond to their areas of giftedness and deficits. It is likely that there is a possibly stronger ability-style connection among exceptional learners, given that exceptionality is often defined in terms of abilities (talents) or disabilities (deficits). The question is whether or not exceptional learners are predisposed to prefer specific intellectual styles in line with their abilities and disabilities. The third issue is the role of intellectual styles in the teaching and learning of exceptional learners. Given the possibly stronger ability-style connection, the question is whether or not instruction matching intellectual styles of exceptional learners should assume greater importance in the effective teaching and learning of these more able and more vulnerable learners.

Globalization in economy and in education has highlighted the importance of developing top students for global competition in various fields in Asian countries (Ibata-Arens, 2012). In response to the increasing demand for national talents, many Asian countries have actively moved to develop some form of gifted education. Generally, Western conceptions of giftedness, largely the Euro-American perspectives, provide the theoretical basis for the development of educational programs, procedures for the identification of gifted children, program delivery, and methods of instruction (Wu, Cho, & Munandar, 2000). However, Asian countries differ among themselves in the pace of gifted education development, and the policies and actual practices of gifted program provision. Globalization has also brought about the realization of the diversity of cultures and contexts, including the different cultural conceptions of giftedness. Although it is tempting to define a homogeneous Asian conception of giftedness, it soon becomes apparent that it is not possible nor is it desirable. Asians come from some 50 countries in five geographical regions: Central Asia, Eastern Asia, Southern Asia, Southeastern Asia, and Western Asia. Historically, each of these regions has pursued very different social and political paths, and countries in these regions are not necessarily homogenous ethnically. Although some countries, such as Japan and South Korea, are relatively homogeneous ethnically, others, such as India, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines, have several distinct ethnic groups. Despite the amazing diversity, when the development of gifted education is considered, attention has often been drawn to those countries where a period of sustained economic prosperity has brought about significant investment in education by their governments or the private sectors. These countries or regions include China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea in Eastern Asia, and India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand in Southern and Southeastern Asia. The focus of this chapter will be on the development of gifted education in these 11 Asian countries or regions, especially those in Eastern Asia.
