“…Ramon Goings and Donna Ford (2018), two minority authors in gifted education, for instance, analyzed the contents of five gifted education journals related to the use of equitable assessments to identify and retain gifted students of color in low-income families. Other researchers extended this advocacy of creativity assessment to global gifted minority groups (Alodat & Momani, 2018).…”

This chapter provides a systematic, synthesizing, and critical review of the literature related to assessments of creativity in education from historical, theoretical, empirical, and practical standpoints. We examined the assessments used in the articles focusing on education that are published from January 2010 to May 2021 in eight creativity, psychological, and educational journals. We found that the assessments of creativity in education are split between psychological and education research and have increased international participation. Additionally, these assessments are more general than specific and focus more on cognitive than noncognitive aspects. Like previous reviews of assessments of creativity in general, this review showed that creativity in education is still mainly assessed by divergent thinking or creativity tests, self-report questionnaires, and product-based subjective techniques. We analyzed the benefits and drawbacks of each approach and highlighted many innovations in the assessment. We further discussed how the major assessment approaches address race, ethnicity, class, and gender issues in education. We concluded the review with recommendations for how to better assess creativity in education and how assessments of creativity in education contribute to our understanding of the creative educational experience and democratizing education.

“…These students are most often white, Asian, and/or wealthy, making students of color and students from lower socio-economic backgrounds under-identified and under-served by gifted programs [4]. A recent study on gifted Syrian refugees in Jordan found immigrants to be under-identified, and therefore, underserved by the education system [7]. In England, they shut down "elitist" and "inequitable" gifted programs in favor of differentiated instruction for all by classroom teachers [6].…”

“…All over the world, gifted students from diverse backgrounds, particularly those from culturally, linguistically, and economically diverse backgrounds, are underserved and overlooked [7,10,11]. According to Davis and Moore, "Although many of these children possess tremendous talents that are of value to their nations, gifted children of color, especially those from economically disadvantaged communities, tend to be the most underrepresented in gifted and advanced programs worldwide" [10] (p. xv).…”

Non-Native Gifted Students in a Finnish Teacher Training School: A Case Study

2023

It is a global challenge to meet the needs of non-native gifted students in the classroom. This case study investigates how Finland, a country with a high-achieving school system and a growing multicultural student population, serves its non-native gifted students. In interviews at a Finnish teacher training school, non-native gifted students and their parents and teachers described their school experiences. The interviews were analyzed for patterns in two categories: instructional strategies and curriculum design. The findings highlight the fact that Finland’s education system is based on egalitarian approaches to learning in inclusive educational settings. The results show that teachers are differentiating for their gifted students and parents and students recognize this.
