Title
Teaching and counseling gifted and talented adolescents: An international learning style perspective
Abstract
This decade has seen the emergence of two powerful concepts that influence curriculum and instruction: (1) learning style—the understanding that individuals master difficult information or skills in different ways and (2) multidimensional giftedness—the recognition that individuals may express their giftedness in different ways and at different levels. In addition, we are becoming increasingly aware of the unique impact of culture on intellectual and personal-social development, in general, and on giftedness and learning style, in particular. This book is designed to give teachers, counselors, gifted education specialists, and parents in each country an understanding of the specific learning style components that characterize gifted adolescents in their culture. It has particular value for teachers in the US in their efforts to individualize instruction for culturally diverse school populations.
Part One [presents] the broad theoretical background of the concepts of giftedness and learning style.
In Part Two, data on the learning styles of gifted and talented learners [Grades 7 through 12] in seven countries are presented in detail. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

abstractTranslation: Esta década ha visto el surgimiento de dos conceptos poderosos que influyen en el currículo y la instrucción: (1) el estilo de aprendizaje: la comprensión de que las personas dominan información o habilidades difíciles de diferentes maneras y (2) la superdotación multidimensional: el reconocimiento de que las personas pueden expresar su superdotación de diferentes maneras y en diferentes niveles. Además, cada vez somos más conscientes del impacto único de la cultura en el desarrollo intelectual y personal-social, en general, y en la superdotación y el estilo de aprendizaje, en particular. Este libro está diseñado para dar a los maestros, consejeros, especialistas en educación para superdotados y padres en cada país una comprensión de los componentes específicos del estilo de aprendizaje que caracterizan a los adolescentes superdotados en su cultura. Tiene un valor particular para los maestros en los EE. UU. en sus esfuerzos por individualizar la instrucción para poblaciones escolares culturalmente diversas. La primera parte presenta los amplios antecedentes teóricos de los conceptos de superdotación y estilo de aprendizaje. En la segunda parte, se presentan en detalle los datos sobre los estilos de aprendizaje de los alumnos superdotados y talentosos [grados 7 a 12] en siete países.
