Provides an examination of the nature of giftedness and proposes a new framework for the field of gifted education. This book scrutinizes some deeply held assumptions about the nature of giftedness and explains why a contextual, developmental approach is a more viable alternative to the traditional psychometric approach. It tackles tensions between the gifted-child and talent development movements, and between excellence and equity, and responds to the 'elitism' criticisms.
David Yun Dai is an associate professor in the Department of Educational and Counseling Psychology, University at Albany, State University of New York.
