Terzian* . IP address: College of Education, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, USA Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] 170.106.40.40 Abstract This essay examines the first detailed study of gifted African American youth: Lillian , on Steele Proctor’s master’s thesis from the late 1920s on Black children in Washington, 29 Sep 2021 at 11:09:32 DC. Unlike formative research on gifted children by educational psychologists, Proctor’s investigation emphasized children’s experiences at school, home, and community in deter- mining their abilities, opportunities, and accomplishments. Proctor’s work also antici- pated African American intellectuals’ critiques of racist claims about intelligence and giftedness that would flourish in the 1930s. In focusing on the nation’s capital, her inves- tigation drew from a municipality with a high proportion of African American residents , subject to the Cambridge Core terms of use, available at that was segregated by law. Proctor pointed directly to systemic racism as both contribut- ing to the relative invisibility of gifted African American youth and in thwarting oppor- tunities to realize their intellectual potential. In an environment of racial subordination and segregation, these gifted children found themselves excluded from cultural resources and educational opportunities. Keywords: gifted education; Black education; race; African Americans; intelligence testing; Washington; DC In 1927, an eight-year-old boy named Jesse Marchant attended sixth grade in the Washington, DC, public schools.

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Antoinette S. Ellis for the Master of Arts in Education presented May 14, 1986 Title: An Historical Overview of Creativity with Implications for Education Dr. v~r-Guy This thesis traced the development of the concept of creativity from the earliest works in the intellectual history of Western civili- zation to the late twentieth century. This historical perspective on the concept of creativity served as a backdrop to current views of the concept and as a reference source for recurrent views of the concept and as a reference source for recurrent and essential themes in the progressing debates concerning this issue. The study proceeded from the evidence of Homeric and early philosophical work concerning the lively and real presence in the thinking of the times of experiences of "breakthrough" creative thought and production.

  • Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
    Maslow's hierarchy of needs From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search An interpretation of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, represented as a pyramid with the more basic needs at the bottom.[1] Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a theory in psychology, proposed by Abraham Maslow in his 1943 paper A Theory of Human Motivation,[2] which he subsequently extended to include his observations of humans' innate curiosity. Maslow studied what he called exemplary people such as Albert Einstein, Jane Addams, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Frederick Douglass rather than mentally ill or neurotic people, writing that "the study of crippled, stunted, immature, and unhealthy specimens can yield only a cripple psychology and a cripple philosophy."[3] Maslow also studied the healthiest one percent of the college student population. In his book, The Farther Reaches of Human Nature, Maslow writes, "By ordinary standards of this kind of laboratory research... this simply was not research at all. My generalizations grew out of my selection of certain kinds of people. Obviously, other judges are needed."[4] Contents [hide] • 1 Representations • 2 Deficiency needs o 2.1 Physiological needs o 2.2 Safety needs o 2.3 Social needs o 2.4 Esteem o 2.5 Self-actualization • 3 Self-transcendence • 4 Marketing • 5 Criticisms • 6 See also • 7 References • 8 External links [edit] Representations Maslow's hierarchy of needs is predetermined in order of importance.[5] It is often depicted as a pyramid consisting of five levels: the lowest level is associated with physiological needs, while the uppermost level is associated with self-actualization needs, particularly those related to identity and purpose.

  • A Motor Creativity Test for College Women
    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced tachnological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Paga(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the edjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greetest value, however, e somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
