“…The study of which features potentially intervene in the presence of high capabilities for development in children was the first step in this research. For this purpose, pedagogical and sociological research was taken into account [3][4][5]8,16], as well as the professional experience of teaching personnel at the preschool level. In addition, other situations that may influence detection such as environmental and socioeconomic factors were analyzed [2].…”

“…Children with high development potential need specific learning strategies so that their development can be enhanced [1][2][3]. Cuban pedagogy wagers on teaching styles that respect individual differences and grant each child the ability to assimilate knowledge at his or her own pace, in a personalized way and according to each individual's needs.…”

Prediction of High Capabilities in the Development of Kindergarten Children

Analysis and prediction of children’s behavior in kindergarten is a current need of the Cuban educational system. Despite such an early age, the kindergarten institutions are devoted to facilitate the integral children development. However, the early detection of high capabilities in a child is not always accomplished accurately; due to teachers being mostly focused on the performance of the children that are lagging behind to achieve their age range’s stated goals. In addition, the amount of children with high capabilities is usually low, which makes the prediction an imbalanced data problem. Thus, such children tend to be misguided and overlaid, with a negative impact in their sociological development. The purpose of this research is to propose an efficient algorithm that enhances the prediction in the kindergarten children data. We obtain a useful set of instances and features, thus improving the Nearest Neighbor accuracy according to the Area under the Receiving Operating Characteristic curve measure. The obtained results are of great interest for Cuban educational system, regarding the rapidly and precise prediction of the presence or absence of high capabilities for integral personality development in kindergarten children.

“…In some studies, nonetheless, teachers noted specific intellectual abilities that they found significantly advanced among gifted children. These include strong reasoning skills, a broad fund of knowledge, a wide vocabulary (Moon and Brighton, 2008), reading skills and reading comprehension, problem-solving, attention and memory, speed in processing, and creativity (Ogurlu and Çetinkaya, 2012;Dal Forno et al, 2015;Yazici et al, 2017). Teachers believe that these competencies were developed experientially in stimulating home environments.…”

Considerable evidence supports that preschool education is a milestone stage for children. Nonetheless, systematic preschool gifted education programs rarely exist in public elementary schools. The current study explored the perceptions of 16 preschool teachers (general and special education teachers) from seven public schools in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE) regarding their views about various components of gifted education for preschool children. Qualitative analyses, using the inductive data analysis method, revealed several themes such as (a) the concept and identification of giftedness, (b) characteristics of gifted preschoolers, (c) preschoolers’ problem-solving skills, (d) the communication and social skills of gifted preschoolers, resources/services offered by the school to serve gifted preschoolers, (e) enrichment programs available for gifted preschoolers, (f) inclusive education for gifted preschoolers, (g) twice-exceptional preschoolers, and (h) governmental support. The results of this study may help advocate for infusing more services and programs related to the identification and education of gifted preschoolers in public schools. The findings identified the need to have an abundance of assessment tools and enrichment programs that can empower preschool teachers to cater for giftedness.
