This article notes the low rate of highly talented or gifted students formally identified in Spain compared to international benchmarks. These students are not properly identified, so a lack of specific educational responses for these highly talented students is also expected. Trying to counteract this trend, this article presents an enrichment program imparted to a group of students with high intellectual abilities during the academic year 2017/18 over three weekly sessions during school hours, where emerging technologies were an important key in how it was delivered. The experimental design included an experimental group of high ability students and two control groups, one consisting of students with high abilities who did not receive specific educational responses and another consisting of a group of regular schoolchildren in terms of abilities. The results showed that the implementation of specific educational responses improved children’s levels of adaptation and in some cases, their school performance. These data are discussed in an attempt to recommend enrichment programs integrated into the classroom as an appropriate educational response to gifted or high ability students. Attention to diversity of all students in the classroom is possible, for example by resorting to ICT, increasing the educational inclusion of students with high intellectual capacity.

The analysis of the mathematical performance of the students favors the adjustment and individualization of the educational processes for this area of learning. Due to its relevance in daily life, the teacher must bear in mind the functionality and transfer of mathematical learning. The generalization of research that combines theory and practice is essential. In this sense, there are few studies at the curriculum level for mathematics related to the education of gifted and/or mathematically talented students. Thus, it becomes pertinent to analyze such mathematical skills and the factors in which these students stand out. The purpose of this study is to analyze the types of mathematical reasoning and representations based on problem-solving tasks expressed by gifted students on an educational level with a good performance in the area of Mathematics. Forty-two students were evaluated as gifted, and were compared with 52 high-performance students in terms of age and school year (10-15 years old). The existence of statistically significant differences in certain tasks and representations was verified, with the schoolchildren with the greatest potential showing more complex representations and more elaborate reasoning. Knowing the nature of the potentialities favors the individualization of the educational processes.

En raison de son importance dans la vie quotidienne, l’enseignant envisager la fonctionnalité et le transfert de l’apprentissage mathématique. La généralisation des investigations combinant théorie et pratique est considérée comme essentielle. À cet égard, les études sur des programmes pour les mathématiques liées à l’éducation des écoliers surdoués et / ou talentueux sont rares. Ceci permet de réfléchir sur ces compétences mathématiques et oú des facteurs ces élèves sont excellents. Cette étude vise à analyser les types de raisonnement et de représentations mathématiques à partir de la résolution de problèmes par des étudiants surdoués diagnostiqués par rapport aux élèves au même niveau d’instruction avec de bons résultats dans le domaine des mathématiques. Quarante-deux élèves ont été évalués comme surdoués et ils sont assimilés à 52 élèves très performants tenant compte de leur âge et de leur année de scolarité (écoliers âgés de 10 à 15 ans). Les résultats semblent indiquer l’existence de différences statistiquement significatives dans certaines tâches et représentations, montrant aux écoliers avec une plus grande potentialité des représentations, plus complexes et avec un raisonnement plus élaboré en général. Les études avec ces étudiants nous permettent de connaître la nature de leurs potentialités et favorisent l’individualisation de l’apprentissage.

Devido à sua relevância na vida quotidiana, o docente deve ter em conta a funcionalidade e transferência das aprendizagens matemáticas. A generalização de investigações que combinam teoria e prática é considerada essencial.

Deste modo, torna-se pertinente analisar essas competências matemáticas e em que fatores esses alunos se destacam. O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar os tipos de raciocínio e de representações matemáticas a partir de tarefas de resolução de problemas desenvolvidas por alunos com diagnóstico de sobredotação em comparação com alunos matriculados no mesmo nível de escolaridade com bom desempenho na área da Matemática. Foram considerados 42 alunos avaliados como sobredotados e comparados com 52 alunos de alto rendimento considerando a sua idade e a etapa de escolaridade (alunos entre os 10 e os 15 anos). Os resultados sugerem a existência de diferenças estatisticamente significativas em determinadas tarefas e representações, evidenciando os alunos com maior potencial representações mais complexas e raciocínios mais elaborados em geral. Os estudos com estes alunos permitem conhecer a natureza das suas potencialidades e favorecem a individualização dos processos educativos.

Se han considerado 42 escolares evaluados como superdotados, y se equiparan con 52 alumnos de rendimiento alto considerando su edad y año de escolaridad (escolares entre los 10 y los 15 años de edad). Los resultados sugieren la existencia de diferencias estadísticamente significativas en determinadas tareas y representaciones, mostrando los escolares con mayor potencialidad representaciones más complejas y raciocinios más elaborados en general.

This study examines some teacher sociodemographic factors and school characteristics that may influence teachers’ identification of gifted students. Teachers initially nominated a sample of 505 students aged 7–17 years ( M = 11.51, SD = 2.07), but only 359 completed a general intelligence test and 225 reached the minimum percentile to be considered potentially gifted. Only 20 of these had a previous diagnosis of giftedness. Results show that the teachers’ identification had a sensitivity of 63% and that the teacher’s sex and the type of school significantly influenced the identification of giftedness. Female teachers and teachers in private schools made more accurate identifications. There was no evidence for the influence of school setting or the educational stage.
