  • Assessed the accuracy of teachers in primary and secondary schools in determining which children are able or gifted. Teachers' accuracy of the perception of giftedness was compared with that of the individually administered intelligence test, and the accuracy of the perception of giftedness by teachers and psychologists of primary and secondary school children and males vs females was also compared. 82 male and 81 female primary and secondary schoolchildren considered gifted by the heads of the school and teachers were administered the WISC. Results show that (1) there was a greater tendency by all teachers to overrate rather than underrate children as gifted in primary schools, (2) there were relatively fewer gifted children in secondary schools assessed by teachers and psychologists, (3) there was a strong tendency for teachers at secondary schools to underrate children, (4) more females than males were overrated as to being able by teachers at both primary and secondary school levels, and (5) more males than females were underrated as able at both primary and secondary school levels. Findings indicate that teachers, although they are able to identify a certain number of able children, do in fact underrate and overrate the performance of children generally on the basis of academic achievement.
