  • Comments on an article by Albert Zieglera & Shane N. Phillipson (see record 2012-16824-002). Ziegler and Phillipson draw upon the Actiotope Model of Giftedness (AMG) to give an overview of a systemic approach to gifted education. They argue the value of such a systemic approach for understanding the development of exceptionality. We certainly agree that the achievement of excellent performance is not only the result of individual abilities and efforts but also the collective support from interactive components within the system. In our field, the AMG has provided us with a conceptual framework that helps us interpret our data on connectedness and life skills development among children in Hong Kong. Ziegler and Phillipson also point out weaknesses in key models and strategies established so far in gifted education. They certainly challenge the fundamentals of the current mode of nurturing giftedness. They hold that the development of exceptional achievement requires attention to students’ needs at an individual level, rather than group or class level. As suggested by Ziegler and Phillipson, one of the few strategies implemented at the moment that can cater to students’ individual needs is mentorship found that gifted students regard interaction with experienced people from their field of interest as the most valued and helpful means for their development. Similarly, our study of high ability adolescents in Hong Kong has shown that many students benefit from peer mentoring and counseling in school (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved)
