I did not see it as how Gagne describes it as as the abilities in "at least one domain." ]]> 2023-08-20 20:13:56 UTC https://padlet.com/erinweate/yvbhmfyxlvhq1hb5/wish/2666786548 erinweate https://padlet.com/erinweate/yvbhmfyxlvhq1hb5/wish/2666786760 To transform those "gifts" (or the untrained natural abilities) into "talents" (or those that have achieve mastery)]]> 2023-08-20 20:14:59 UTC https://padlet.com/erinweate/yvbhmfyxlvhq1hb5/wish/2666786760 erinweate https://padlet.com/erinweate/yvbhmfyxlvhq1hb5/wish/2666787190 This need to transform the gifts into talents raises the possibility that unmotivated students, those lacking in resources, or those left unidentified to never achieve that transformation. This increases the necessity and urgency in the identification process. ]]> 2023-08-20 20:17:06 UTC https://padlet.com/erinweate/yvbhmfyxlvhq1hb5/wish/2666787190 erinweate https://padlet.com/erinweate/yvbhmfyxlvhq1hb5/wish/2666787721 These two educational philosophers do feel very important in the grand scheme of trying to understand giftedness as a whole and thus, the giftedness that we may see in our schools. That being said, I would like a more detailed document that thoroughly explains the two branches of research. ]]> 2023-08-20 20:20:09 UTC https://padlet.com/erinweate/yvbhmfyxlvhq1hb5/wish/2666787721 erinweate https://padlet.com/erinweate/yvbhmfyxlvhq1hb5/wish/2666788199 Gifts - Untrained and spontaneously expressed natural abilities in at least one ability domain to bring the person to the top 10% within the similar age group

-Above average abilities 
-High task commitment 
-High creativity 
You need all three of these in order for it to be considered gifted behavior.]]> 2023-08-20 20:23:59 UTC https://padlet.com/erinweate/yvbhmfyxlvhq1hb5/wish/2666788603 erinweate https://padlet.com/erinweate/yvbhmfyxlvhq1hb5/wish/2666790213 The goal of the gifted education then is to transform those gifts into talents through both learning processes (both formal and informal) and natural catalysts. 

Intrapersonal Catalyst - Physical ability, personality, and motivation 
Environmental Catalyst - Culture, Programs, and People 

We can provide some positive environmental catalysts in school by giving them a safe place to engage with their abilities and we can provide learning processes to guide their thinking, but we cannot change their intrapersonal catalysts. We cannot force them to be motivated or change their inherent physical ability. 

This brings my thoughts back to the different kinds of gifted students that were identified in our videos this week. Does this imply that the students who don't have the desire to learn or the motivation cannot transform their gifts into talents? ]]> 2023-08-20 20:29:47 UTC https://padlet.com/erinweate/yvbhmfyxlvhq1hb5/wish/2666790213
