Download or read book Three Case Studies of Gifted Students who Underachieve in High School written by Barbara Jean Moore and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 606 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Academic underachievement in gifted students is a serious problem that has perplexed educators and researchers for more than five decades. A large body of quantitative research studying personality and environmental factors related to underachievement has isolated certain variables, such as lack of effort, socioeconomic status, learning style, and peer pressure, that may be concomitants of underachievement. Few studies, however, have used qualitative methodology to understand how gifted underachievers or their parents perceive this problem. This research study used a qualitative, case study approach to the problem of academic underachievement in three gifted high school students from White, suburban, middle income families. The students, two male and one female, and their parents were interviewed and the students were observed in their classes to understand the way students and their parents describe and try to deal with academic underachievement, and to explore how personal, family, and environmental factors relate to academic underachievement Findings indicated similarities in the chronology of events related to the academic underachievement of the three students. First, from early childhood, students' home environments were characterized by communication problems and parenting practices that were inconsistent and lacked balance. Second, during early adolescence, a move to a new school created a break in close friendships, increasing the child's feeling of stress and isolation. Third, an un-stimulating high school environment prevented the child from forming a strong sense of identity in school. Finally, the child's lower report card grades focused the parents' attention on the underachieving child, reinforcing the underachievement. These findings can help us better understand how combinations of factors in the home school, and peer environments contribute to academic underachievement in gifted students"--Leaf [iv].

Book excerpt: This report on the educational needs of American gifted and talented students identifies indicators of an educational crisis, describes the current status of education for these students, and presents recommendations to meet the educational needs of these students. Indicators demonstrating the need for change include the relatively poor performance by American students on international tests and the small number of students performing at the highest levels on National Assessment of Educational Progress tests. Recent studies have shown that gifted and talented elementary school students have mastered 35-40% of the curriculum in five basic subjects before they begin the school year; most regular classroom teachers make few, if any, provisions for talented students; highest achieving students study less than an hour a day; and only 2 cents out of every $100 spent on K-12 education supports special opportunities for talented students. A review describes how gifted and talented students are currently identified, the number of students served, the kind of support available, the kind of education most gifted and talented students receive, and characteristics of effective programs for these students. Seven recommendations are offered: (1) set challenging curricular standards; (2) establish high-level learning opportunities; (3) ensure access to early childhood education; (4) increase learning opportunities for disadvantaged and minority children with outstanding talents; (5) broaden the definition of gifted (a broadened definition based on the federal Javits Gifted and Talented Education Act is offered); (6) encourage appropriate teacher training and technical assistance; and (7) match world performance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For years, educators, counselors, and parents have debated whether underachievers can outgrow this behavior and perform up to their abilities as adults. What happens educationally, occupationally, and maritally to underachievers after they leave high school? In the largest sample of underachievers and the first long-term (13-year) study ever conducted, the authors explore whether underachievers "catch up" after high school to the level of their abilities, the traits of those who do, and the traits of those who don't. Through an analysis of the 13-year longitudinal study, they compare underachievers with students who receive the same grades and students who have tested at the same ability level but who have performed better in school. Covering such issues as personality variables, learning strategies, self-esteem, classroom structure, the educational system, and parental styles, the authors sift through the data to discover what factors are associated with underachievement and what techniques have worked to help these students improve their performance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lack of integration between the unique academic needs of gifted students and their public school experiences continues to be a source of concern among students, parents, teachers, and administrators nationwide. This lack of coordination leads some gifted students to fail to live up to their potential academically. In this mixed methods study, student data were analyzed and the School Attitude Assessment Survey - Revised was administered to determine whether there were patterns consistent among the group of underachieving gifted students that would assist the local school district in identifying them early in their public school career. Additionally, interviews were conducted with ten underachievers to determine their perspective of self and school. Utilizing the motivational aspects of Self-Determination Theory (SDT), this study establishes the characteristics of school that enhance a student's intrinsic motivation to learn. Recommendations for educational policy and leadership are provided as well as suggestions for future research.

This book was released on 2014-08-08 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third volume of the collected works of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi covers his work on the application of flow in areas that go beyond the field of leisure where the concept was first applied. Based on his personal experience with schooling and learning, as well as that of many others and contrary to what Cicero claimed, Csikszentmihalyi arrived at the conclusion that instead of taking pride in making the roots of knowledge as bitter as possible, we should try to make them sweeter. Just as flow became a popular and useful concept in voluntary activities, it could likewise be applied in education with the end result of young people being more likely to continue learning not just because they have to but because they want to. This volume brings together a number of articles in which Csikszentmihalyi develops ideas about how to make education and more generally the process of learning to live a good life, more enjoyable. Since theory is the mother of good practice, the first eleven chapters are devoted to theoretical reflections. Some are general and explore what it means to be a human being, what it means to be a person, when we look at life from the perspective of flow. Others are more narrowly focused on such topics as consumption, education, teaching and learning. They help laypeople reflect how they can arrange their lives in such a way as to leave a small ecological footprint while getting the most enjoyment. The second section of the volume contains a dozen empirical articles on similar topics. They deal with the development of identity and self-worth; with the formation of goals and motivation; with loneliness and family life.

Book excerpt: With all the talk of failing schools these days, we forget that schools can fail their brightest students, too. We pledge to "leave no child behind," but in American schools today, thousands of gifted and talented students fall short of their potential. In Genius Denied, Jan and Bob Davidson describe the "quiet crisis" in education: gifted students spending their days in classrooms learning little beyond how to cope with boredom as they "relearn" material they've already mastered years before. This lack of challenge leads to frustration, underachievement, and even failure. Some gifted students become severely depressed. At a time when our country needs a deep intellectual talent pool, the squandering of these bright young minds is a national tragedy. There are hundreds of thousands of highly gifted children in the U.S. and millions more whose intelligence is above average, yet few receive the education they deserve. Many school districts have no gifted programs or offer only token enrichment classes. Education of the gifted is in this sorry state, say the Davidsons, because of indifference, lack of funding, and the pernicious notion that education should have a "leveling" effect, a one-size-fits-all concept that deliberately ignores the needs of the gifted. But all children are entitled to an appropriate education, insist the authors, those left behind as well as those who want to surge ahead. The Davidsons show parents and educators how to reach and challenge gifted students. They offer practical advice based on their experience as founders of a nonprofit organization that assists gifted children. They show parents how to become their children's advocates, how to win support for gifted students within the local schools, and when and how to go outside the school system. They discuss everything from acceleration ("skipping" a grade) to homeschooling and finding mentors for children. They tell stories of real parents and students who overcame poor schooling environments to discover the joy of learning. Genius Denied is an inspiring book that provides a beacon of hope for children at risk of losing their valuable gift of intellectual potential.
