Abstract

The article reveals the essence of identification of
giftedness depending on age: teenagers, senior grades,
students. The analysis of the works of scientists on this
problem according to foreign American sources by the
following authors: J. Hopkins, Gray, Pleker, FernandezRio, Mendes-Jimenez, Bailey, Morley, M. Klein, S. Pfeiffer,
Kaufman, M. Coleman, T. Savannah, S. Brody, Z.Shechman,
S. Schutz, K. Heller, W. Bendov.
Also, psychodiagnostic results of giftedness
identification were described in the following American
diagnostic centres: American Gifted Association, National
Scientific Council, Iowa Center for Talented and Gifted,
Expert Selection System for Young Athletes in Ljubljana,
National Association of Gifted Children in the USA.
The identification process itself should be reviewed
periodically to ensure that it is valid for the population
served and the types of services provided. To help the
educational process study trends in personal identification
by age, data should be disaggregated by class, gender,
ethnicity, language, and economic status. These data
should reflect the patterns of educational institutions in
which gifted children study.
The article discusses identification methods aimed at
identifying the abilities of individuals of different ages who
are gifted in a particular field, regardless of their ethnic
origin, financial status, disabilities, etc., in order to provide
them with special educational services and pedagogical
support within secondary schools for the fullest disclosure
of their intellectual, creative and leadership potential.
The identification process is the first but critical step in
ensuring that gifted pupils and students in need of quality
education are recognized and combined with relevant
European standard services.
