  • Comments on an article by Albert Zieglera & Shane N. Phillipson (see record 2012-16824-002). In their article, Zieglera & Phillipson present an interesting approach to gifted education. The actiotope model explains giftedness in light of systems theory where constant interchange occurs between the gifted person,his/her actions, and the environment in which he or she evolves. The approach is refreshing and sheds light on the complex and dynamic process of giftedness as opposed to linear approaches that consider either the individual alone or the environment by itself, but rarely the interaction of both. Without doubt, the approach is significant, but not entirely new, as the authors claim. The paradigm change that they are proposing does include some novelty, but this change is hardly“monumental” as stipulated by the authors. At first, the authors discuss at great length and expand a great effort to establish that a century long of gifted education was ineffective. They stipulate that all paradigms currently and previously used in gifted education, such as acceleration,enrichment, pull-out programs, and other similar approaches have led to no significant advances in the education of gifted learners. A sequel article in which the authors explain more clearly how the actiotope model constitutes a "monumental" change in the current paradigms of gifted education and how it translates into real life is warranted and would add value to the monumental effort the authors have put into constructing this model.
