Title
The nature and nurture of giftedness: A new framework for understanding gifted education
Abstract
Dr. Dai systematically redefines giftedness and proposes a new framework for the field of gifted education. He identifies nine essential tensions, revolving around three core questions: What do we know about the respective roles of natural ability, environment and experiences, and personal effort in talent development? How do we identify the gifted and talented, and study the process of gifted and talent development? And finally, how do we define the aims of gifted education and promote excellence? Sure to be a milestone in the field, this book: Scrutinizes some of the deeply held assumptions about the nature of giftedness and explains why a contextual, developmental approach is a more viable alternative to the traditional psychometric approach. Takes stock of the past, defines the present, and looks into the future in terms of understanding high potential and educating youths. Tackles tensions between the gifted child and talent development movements and between excellence and equity, and responds to the "elitism" criticisms in a constructive and comprehensive way.

Publication Title: The nature and nurture of giftedness: A new framework for understanding gifted education
abstractTranslation: El Dr. Dai redefine sistemáticamente la superdotación y propone un nuevo marco para el campo de la educación de superdotados. Identifica nueve tensiones esenciales, que giran en torno a tres preguntas centrales: ¿Qué sabemos sobre los roles respectivos de la capacidad natural, el entorno y las experiencias, y el esfuerzo personal en el desarrollo del talento? ¿Cómo identificamos a los superdotados y talentosos, y estudiamos el proceso de desarrollo de los superdotados y el talento? Y, por último, ¿cómo definimos los objetivos de la educación de los superdotados y promovemos la excelencia? Seguramente será un hito en el campo, este libro: Examina algunas de las suposiciones profundamente arraigadas sobre la naturaleza de la superdotación y explica por qué un enfoque contextual y de desarrollo es una alternativa más viable que el enfoque psicométrico tradicional. Hace un balance del pasado, define el presente y mira hacia el futuro en términos de comprensión del alto potencial y educación de los jóvenes. Aborda las tensiones entre los niños superdotados y los movimientos de desarrollo del talento y entre la excelencia y la equidad, y responde a las críticas del "elitismo" de una manera constructiva e integral.
