  • Teachers’ implication is a key aspect for detection, assessment and intervention in gifted children. Because of this reason, the present study analyses the knowledge, perceptions and attitudes towards gifted students among a group of teachers ( N = 158) and trainee teachers at the University of Oviedo ( N = 88), Spain. For this purpose, an ad-hoc questionnaire was designed, also including sociodemographic variables and teaching experience. In this line, results from this study show that preservice teachers have more positive attitudes towards gifted students than in-service teachers. Likewise, there were not statistically significant differences between in-service teachers who received training on this condition or not. However, the time they worked with these students and their teaching experience, were predictors of positive attitudes towards gifted students. Thus, the prime objective of this study was achieved, as teaching experience and training had an impact on knowledge, perceptions and attitudes towards giftedness, although teacher’s training seems insufficient; consequently, many myths and stereotypes are still part of school life today.

  • This study analyses Executive Functions (EF) and Creativity among neurodivergent students -including students with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Dyslexia, Intellectual Disability (ID), Giftedness-, and a group with Neurotypical development. A sample of 181 secondary school students participated in the study. Creativity was assessed by using the PIC-J test, focusing on verbal and figural components of divergent thinking, while EF were evaluated through Nesplora Ice-Cream, a virtual reality tool assessing flexibility, working memory, and inhibition. Results showed statistically significant differences in Verbal Creativity, especially in Originality: students with ADHD outperformed their Neurotypical peers, while those with ID showed the lowest scores. Although no statistically significant differences emerged in Figural Creativity, students with ADHD showed the lowest scores in Elaboration or Figural details, whereas those with Dyslexia exhibited high levels of Figural Originality, similar to their Neurotypical peers. Concerning EF, students with ID had the highest scores in Interference and Perseveration, indicating poorer Flexibility. In contrast, Gifted students performed better than the other groups in Working Memory, while students with ADHD did not exhibit special difficulties in EF. These findings emphasize the importance of personalized interventions for Neurodivergent students, that recognize and capitalize on their unique strengths while addressing specific challenges.
