  • Gifted and Talented Education in New Zealand Schools: a Decade Later
    Riley, T., & Bicknell, B. (2013). Gifted and talented education in New Zealand Schools: A Decade Later. APEX: The New Zealand Journal of Gifted Education, 18(1). Retrieved from www.giftedchildren.org.nz/apex. Gifted and Talented Education in New Zealand Schools: A Decade Later Tracy Riley, Massey University and Brenda Bicknell, The University of Waikato Introduction In 2004, the Ministry of Education released research investigating identification of and provisions for gifted and talented students in New Zealand Schools (Riley, Bevan-Brown, Bicknell, Carroll-Lind, & Kearney, 2004). This was landmark research: the first national study of gifted and talented education funded by the Ministry and released alongside a range of initiatives for students and those who identify and educate them in the schooling sector. The research comprised a comprehensive review of the literature, a national survey of schools, and ten case studies of best practice, with an aim of creating “a roadmap for future research and initiatives” (2004, p. 36). This earlier research concluded that while there was a growing awareness of the need for gifted and talented education, identification and provisions were both supported and impeded by professional learning and development, access to resources and support, funding, time, and cultural understandings. While giftedness and talent was defined broadly and school-based definitions were inclusive of multiple areas of abilities and qualities, many reported definitions did not embody Maori perspectives and values. Identification of gifts and talents was highly reliant on teachers and standardized forms of assessment. A preference for combining enrichment with acceleration, across a range of approaches, was desirable, but limited in implementation, with partiality towards regular classroom and withdrawal or pull-out programmes.

A case study of gifted visual-spatial learners A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters in Education Massey University, New Zealand Sharon Mansfield, 2014 Acknowledgements Carrying out educational research and writing up the results to share what has been found has been an exciting opportunity. Sharing personal experiences with an unknown audience has been slightly daunting for me and I sincerely thank those who have similarly put themselves into my hands, and had faith in my ability to express the essence of their experiences. The fact that participants in this research project were, without exception, so eager to contribute, is a measure of their common desire to add what they could to the telling of this story. It was truly a special privilege to be welcomed into your homes, classrooms and workplaces and I am very grateful for the open and reflective conversations that took place between us. I would especially like to acknowledge with love, my two wonderful gifted visual- spatial learner sons. This whole journey has been about and for you. Thank you for the insights you have shared with me as we have travelled this road together. Also, all the other gifted visual-spatial students I have had the pleasure of knowing and learning alongside – my wish for all of you is that you find a place of passion where your very special gifts can enhance your lives and be appreciated by others.

  • A Literature Review of Defining and Identifying Gifted and Talented Children in Early Childhood Settings in Aotearoa New Zealand
    Finding the lost treasure: A literature review of defining and identifying gifted and talented children in early childhood settings in Aotearoa New Zealand Melanie Wong [email protected] Abstract: This literature review is intended to explore the definitions and identifications of gifted and talented children, particularly in the area of early childhood settings in Aotearoa New Zealand. Gifted and talented education has been recognised by the New Zealand Government and society over the last few decades. Governments have attempted to put in place a variety of strategies to support gifted and talented children and their education. However, gifted and talented children in early childhood settings are still often overlooked by society. Te Whāriki,the New Zealand early childhood curriculum, is designed to be inclusive of all children. This curriculumhas been implemented by most early childhood settings in Aotearoa New Zealand. The basic principles of equity and fairness espoused in Te Whāriki should dictate that gifted and talented children be identified, so that their special learning needs can be met. Key Words:Gifted and talented, early childhood education Introduction The aim of this article is to critically review the literature of defining and identifying gifted and talented children in early childhood settings. In order to support gifted and talented children, I consider that teachers should first appreciate how gifted education has developed in Aotearoa New Zealand. This would include an awareness of how society’s attitudes have changed in terms of providing for these children. This country has evidently begun to develop its recognition of gifted education in primary and secondary schools, although as we will see, there is still a way to go in early childhood education settings.
