From athletic talent development to dual career development? A case study in a Finnish high performance sports environment
2020
The focus of dual career (DC) research has shifted from exploring individual experiences within Athletic Talent Development Environments (ATDEs) toward understanding the impact of the environment and the broader cultural context on individuals’ developmental trajectories in Dual Career Development Environments (DCDEs). To comply with national and EU recommendations for socially responsible elite sport, many successful ATDEs list DC as one of their primary values and advertise themselves as DCDEs in order to attract more athletes. The present study aimed to evaluate whether and how a talent development environment for youth athletes in Finland has transformed from an ATDE to DCDE by explorin…
Exploración de las características del razonamiento visual en alumnos con talento matemático
2013
La investigación que se presenta en esta memoria tiene por finalidad el estudio de los procesos de visualización de alumnos con talento matemático, en particular en el contexto del aprendizaje de algunos conceptos de Geometría. La elección del tema viene motivada por la necesidad de atender de manera diferenciada a los alumnos con talento matemático. Los estudiantes con talento matemático requieren un tipo de atención individualizada. En la actualidad, su consideración por el sistema educativo como alumnos con necesidades educativas especiales lleva a diseñar metodologías y usar unos recursos particulares que den respuesta a sus características propias. Es importante resaltar que una falta …
Habilitats de visualització manifestades per alumnes de primària quan resolen activitats de geometria 3D i la seua relació amb el talent matemàtic
2016
Aquesta investigació ha estat motivada per la importància de la visualització per comprendre millor el món que ens envolta, fet que contrasta amb la realitat a l’escola, on no se li dóna la consideració necessària. D’altra banda, també ens han preocupat els alumnes amb talent matemàtic, ja que reben una atenció molt deficient en les aules ordinàries. En aquest sentit, aquesta investigació té per objectius generals oferir un material educatiu caracteritzat per l’ús de diferents materials manipulatius que ajuden a l’alumnat amb diferents graus de talent matemàtic a manifestar les seues habilitats de visualització (Del Grande, 1990) i característiques de talent matemàtic. Els objectius concret…
Diseño y aplicación de un instrumento para valorar la demanda cognitiva de problemas de matemáticas resueltos por estudiantes de enseñanza obligatori…
2018
Esta investigación está inducida por la necesidad de diseñar buenas prácticas docentes para atender a los estudiantes con altas capacidades matemáticas (aaccmm). Esta necesidad nos incitó a buscar una herramienta que dotara al profesorado de técnicas de intervención para la atención de este alumnado. Para ello, tratamos de utilizar el modelo de demanda cognitiva, considerado un instrumento relevante para la valoración de tareas. Las dificultades que encontramos cuando empezamos a aplicar dicho modelo en nuestras experimentaciones nos llevaron a mejorar el modelo de demanda cognitiva. En resumen, el objetivo general de esta investigación consiste en proporcionar una herramienta que permita a…
Talent identification in soccer using a one-class support vector machine
2019
Abstract Identifying potential future elite athletes is important in many sporting events. The successful identification of potential future elite athletes at an early age would help to provide high-quality coaching and training environments in which to optimize their development. However, a large variety of different skills and qualities are needed to succeed in elite sports, making talent identification generally a complex and multifaceted problem. Due to the rarity of elite athletes, datasets are inherently imbalanced, making classical statistical inference difficult. Therefore, we approach talent identification as an anomaly detection problem. We trained a nonlinear one-class support ve…
What is the meaning of ‘talent’ in the world of work?
2013
The ongoing confusion about the meaning of ‘talent’ within the world of work is hindering the establishment of widely accepted talent management theories and practices. The aim of this paper is to contribute to the literature on talent management by offering an indepth review of the talent concept within the specific context of the world of work, and proposing a framework for its conceptualization. We group different theoretical approaches to talent into ‘object’ (i.e., talent as natural ability; talent as mastery; talent as commitment; talent as fit) versus ‘subject’ approaches (i.e., talent as all people; talent as some people) and identify dynamics existing within and between them, as we…
Talent Management
2012
Talent management is a new concept in the scientific literature, but not in the practitioner arena. In this sense, this chapter underlines the powerful perspective of talent management integrating practices from organizations and providing a scientific approach. Some previous results from different research are expressed in relation to strategy and organizational performance. Talent Management is clearly a concept close to high performance work system, with the difference of a more strategic approach. More than practices are goals for the organization to achieve excellence at work. So Talent Management is clearly linked with a strategic approach to the organization in order to attract, deve…
Talent identification and development tools
2014
Purpose – This paper aims to contribute to talent management literature by examining empirically the relationship between talent identification and development tools. Design/methodology/approach – The study sample consisted of 112 Argentina-based companies. All participants completed an online survey containing a list of identification and development practices. Responses were analyzed with SPSS 19. Findings – Results show that companies running more talent identification processes (performance management and potential identification) make use of a greater number of development tools. Significant differences were observed in the use of all development tools analyzed, with the exception of …

Relativ alderseffekt i norsk kretslagsfotball : Eksisterer det en relativ alderseffekt blant selekterte norske kretslagsspillere?
2017
Masteroppgave idrettsvitenskap ME517 - Universitetet i Agder 2017 The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of a relative age effect among selected youth players on a regional level in Norwegian soccer and to determine if players born in different quarters of the selectionyear, assess their soccer-related abilities differently. Previuos research has shown that players born early in the selectionyear, has been overrepresented in youth national teams in Europe (Helsen et al., 2005) and talentdevelopment-programs (Carling et al., 2009). A total number of 624 players took part in this study, from 16 out of 18 different regions in Norway and the players were considered the most…
