  • Comments on an article by Albert Zieglera & Shane N. Phillipson (see record 2012-16824-002). As an alternative to the current paradigm of gifted education, Ziegler and Phillipson proposed a systemic approach and argued that factors in the current mechanistic model of giftedness are not good predictors for exceptionality. They pinpointed that a single factor identified as an indicator of giftedness, ineffective measures, inappropriate context, and over-reliance on products make it futile to maneuver appropriate educational practices for gifted population. Their perspectives have raised some important issues in understanding the theoretical framework of gifted education. First, Ziegler and Phillipson assert that the systemic approach deals with the wholeness of giftedness without scrutinizing its components and that its main feature is in interactions between individuals and environments. However, crucial roles of environments have not been dismissed in the mechanistic perspective, either. Nonetheless, individuals’ active involvement in developing giftedness and recognition of various modes of outstanding behaviors within the system are the noticeable features of this proposed model. It is also promising that persons within the system are committed to their gifted actions, which would be changeable via interactions with environments.Hopefully, the systemic approach would be instrumental in stimulating diverse forms of giftedness, often unrecognized by traditional approaches, and producing gifted behaviors conducive to the society as well.
