Strategies exhibited by good and average solvers of geometric pattern problems as source of traits of mathematical giftedness in grades 4-6
2019
International audience; We describe and analyse the strategies used by students in primary grades 4, 5 and 6 to solve linear and affine geometric pattern problems. Based on two problems posed in a teaching experiment, we have identified several profiles of strategies used by students to solve the problems. We consider the profiles of students who were good geometric pattern problem solvers as traits that may help identify mathematical giftedness. Our results show that average students used very often incorrect functional strategies and were consistent in using incorrect proportional strategies along the grades. On the other hand, good geometric pattern problem solvers tended to use correct …
Emotional and motivational profiles in the giftedness
2020
L’articolo bersaglio di Cornoldi (2020) dal titolo: «Teorie dell’intelligenza e approcci allo studio della plusdotazione» offre l’opportunità di approfondire la discussione su una tematica che è stata negli ultimi anni oggetto di rinnovato interesse da parte sia della comunità scientifica sia delle istituzioni scolastiche. Basti pensare, da una parte, all’incremento nella produzione scientifica di ricerche volte a delineare il profilo degli studenti plusdotati o ad alto potenziale, dall’altro alla nota MIUR «Alunni con bisogni educativi speciali. Chiarimenti» del 3 aprile 2019 che esplicita le misure, già adottate da molte istituzioni scolastiche in linea con la Direttiva del 27 dicembre 20…
Behavioral and Socio-Emotional Disorders in Intellectual Giftedness: A Systematic Review
2022
AbstractThis work systematically reviewed past literature to investigate the association between intellectual giftedness and socio-emotional and/or behavioral disorders. Nineteen studies met the inclusion criteria, 17 of which have children and/or adolescents as participants, and 12 have a non-gifted control group. Socio-emotional problems, such as withdrawal, were found in 3 out of 8 studies; internalizing disorders, such as anxiety, were found in 5 out of 9; externalizing disorders, such as hyperactivity, were found in 3 out of 5. The most investigated comorbidity was attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. A univocal conclusion on the relationship between intellectual giftedness and so…

Do the Mega and Titan Tests Yield Accurate Results? An Investigation into Two Experimental Intelligence Tests
2020
The Mega and Titan Tests were designed by Ronald K. Hoeflin to make fine distinctions in the intellectual stratosphere. The Mega Test purported to measure above-average adult IQ up to and including scores with a rarity of one in a million of the general population. The Titan Test was billed as being even more difficult than the Mega Test. In this article, these claims are subjected to scrutiny. Both tests are renormed using the normal curve of distribution. It is found that the Mega Test has a higher ceiling and a lower floor than the Titan Test. While the Mega Test may thus seem preferable as a psychometric instrument, it is somewhat marred by a number of easy items in its verbal section. …
