  • Comments on an article by Albert Zieglera & Shane N. Phillipson (see record 2012-16824-002). In their article, Ziegler and Phillipson criticize the “erroneous view” of the research paradigms mentioned with respect to gifted education as well as to our understanding of the development of excellence or exceptionality. Instead of them, they plead for a “paradigm shift” and describe “basic principles of gifted education” based on the “actiotope model” in a systemic view. This reminds me of the controversial debate on psychometric research approaches versus process diagnostics and “action research” in the field 25 years ago. In the first part of their article Ziegler and Phillipson review the “state of the art” and complain the deficiencies of many current fundamental principles of gifted education including talent search and identification approaches in educational and school psychology. All in all: Ziegler and Phillipson offer a very stimulating article, which provides the reader with many new insights into gifted education and useful information relevant to its improvement.

  • Giftedness models published in the last two decades are characterized, almost without exception, by multidimensional and/or typological ability constructs. Two such examples are presented below: the Munich Model of Giftedness (MMG) and the Munich Dynamic Ability-Achievement Model (MDAAM). In the MMG, Heller and Hany (1986) and Heller (1992/2001) conceptualized giftedness or talent as a multifactorized ability construct within a network of noncognitive personality (motivations, learning emotions, control expectations, self-concepts, etc.) and social moderators as well as performance-related (criterion) variables. Diagnosis and intervention examine the difference among predictor, criterion, and moderator variables. In an attempt to forge a bridge between the psychometrically based research into giftedness and the process-oriented expertise research, Perieth (2001) extended the MMG to the MDAAM. An increase degree of expertise influences active learning processes, which in turn influence expansions of knowledge and the acquisition of domain specific competencies. This implies that noncognitive personality characteristics such as interest and task commitment or achievement motivation are to be accorded increased significance regarding talent potential.
