Insights on gifted education in Croatian elementary schools
The goal of this research was to provide insights on gifted education in a sample of Croatian elementary schools. The findings presented stem from the ongoing research project on educational approaches to gifted and gifted education, supported by the Ministry of Science, Education and Sports, the national Teacher Training Agency, the University of Osijek and the Faculty of Education in Osijek, entitled Acceleration in elementary education as empirically grounded but neglected methods of meeting the authentic educational needs of gifted children in the Republic of Croatia. This research is theoretically grounded in the existing empirical research findings on the effectiveness of acceleration and enrichment in order to match the instruction with the educational needs of the gifted. Giftedness in this research, as well as assessed prescribed educational provisions for the gifted, were defined according to the state education act and regulations. Participants were school teams for the gifted (school teachers, school psychologists, pedagogues, and/or other experts) from 159 elementary schools in Croatia. Instruments and procedure included a questionnaire on gifted policy and details on education the schools offered to the gifted students. The key results point to the present mismatch between perceived feasibility of the different educational provisions for the gifted, due to the organizational and other difficulties, and their proven effectiveness in the existing research on gifted education, as well as school based evaluated experiences. Selected insights on gifted education with implications for current and future educational practice are presented and discussed.
