Getting in: Australian university decision-making processes when gifted learners apply for early admission. Australasian Journal of Gifted Education, 18(2), 43-54. 3 Abstract University admission is a significant issue for gifted students who have been accelerated. This study explored access to Australian universities for accelerated students, examined the attitude of Australian universities to admission of accelerated students, and investigated issues of accelerated students’ adjustment to university. There is little research in Australia on these issues. In Phase 1 of the study, information about early admission, dual enrolment, minimum admission age, and admission of students younger than 17 years to Australian universities was collected and summarised. In Phase 2 personnel from 11 Australian universities were interviewed about the decision- making process which allowed such students to gain admission earlier than usual. Issues of support, advertising and national coordination were also examined. Phase 3 focused on interviews with 12 accelerated students concerning their adjustment to university, and any hurdles they identified.

  • Acceleration of Gifted Students Frequently Asked Questions October 2007 (Last Reviewed 12/16/11)
    Acceleration of Gifted Students Frequently Asked Questions October 2007 (last reviewed 12/16/11) No bird flies too high if he soars with his own wings. -Ralph Waldo Emerson What is acceleration? Acceleration is an intervention that moves students through an educational program at a more rapid rate than their age-mates. The goal of acceleration is to tailor the level and complexity of the curriculum to the ability and academic readiness of individual children (Colangelo et al., 2004). What are the benefits of acceleration? Research indicates that students who are properly accelerated benefit significantly, both academically and emotionally. Accelerated gifted and talented students and other high ability students perform at higher levels on achievement tests and are less likely to become bored and disinterested in school than similarly able students who are not accelerated. Why is acceleration important? When the level of instruction is not rigorous and expectations are low, gifted learners may settle into patterns of underachievement. These students are at risk of developing poor organizational/study skills and far worse, may not reach their full potential. Are schools required to accelerate instruction to meet a student’s needs? Yes, districts are required to have procedures in place for the academic acceleration of gifted and talented students that include an assessment of students' readiness and motivation for acceleration and a match between the curriculum and the students' academic needs. Furthermore, every Minnesota child is entitled to an appropriate and challenging education. Who determines whether a student should be accelerated? The decision to accelerate a student is a local decision.

Adopting such a policy secures the right of the gifted student to grow academically in proportion with his peculiar potentials. The research adopts the comparative analytical method (qualitative) using two tools: document analysis and semi-structured interview. The sample of the study comprised two education supervisors in charge of acceleration system in the department of the gifted in KSA and school principals applying the system in the state of Massachusetts. The foremost result, which the study came up to, was that the Saudi educational system has a comprehensive written acceleration

Three versions of a Likert-type scale questionnaire were applied (mentees, mentors, and technical-research team), resulting in a total sample of 43 questionnaires from mentors, 314 from mentees, and 43 from the technical-research team in 43 workshops offered by the GuíaMe-AC-UMA Programme; and 27 questionnaires from mentors, 203 from mentees, and 27 from the technical-research team in the 27 workshops offered by the Amentúrate Programme. The results indicate a high level of satisfaction with the development of the workshops offered by both programmes, on the part of all participants. No significant differences were found in terms of thematic area or gender, although there were differences in age.
