Internet addiction is a broad concept. Despite inconclusive or inconsistent definition for this disorder, usage of the internet is growing rapidly each year especially among adolescents, making it imperative to look into factors that can be correlated to it. The study provided description on adolescent internet addiction and examined significant differences in terms of gender, type of school and online behaviors. Further, the relationship of adolescent internet addiction to spiritual intelligence, psychological wellbeing and social desirability was explored. Questionnaires were used in the data collection; findings suggest that adolescents are frequent online users and that there are significant differences in terms of gender, school type, and online behaviors; social desirability had a strong positive relationship with adolescent internet addiction.

“…The big picture and relation between our actions and greater context are enabled by SQ (Frankl, 1985). Spiritual intelligence deals with problems of meaning and value (Kadkhoda and Jahani, 2012) offering solutions directed toward the benefit of all (Sisk, 2002). On the other side, respecting continual changes in organizations as well as in their environments, "it seems that a new and deeper intelligence is needed to help a manager to manage better and a leader to lead more effectively" (George, 2006, pp.4).…”

Background: In contrast to the rational (IQ) and emotional intelligence (EQ), spiritual intelligence (SQ) is often underestimated and insufficiently investigated. This type of intelligence refers to our approach to the issue of the meaning and value of life, in terms that our actions are placed in a wider context. Objectives: The aim of this paper is to investigate in which extent spiritual intelligence determines the decision making process. In this context, the success of business decision is assigned as its functionality as one of the most prominent feature of successful decision. Methods: The inductive method of building an expert system, i.e. a knowledge based system (Doctus Knowledge-Based Expert System Shell) and casebased concluding on the degree of informativeness (with a key impact on functionality of decision) of individual components (Case Based Reasoning) are used in testing this relationship. Results: The study demonstrates the fact that most of respondents (managers) have not been even familiar with attributes of SI as well as their relationship with decision making process. Conclusions: Identification of the most significant components of SI that affect effectiveness of decisions would allow managers to focus on those which mostly contribute to the functionality of their decisions.

“…Carpenter agrees, the "lack of teacher training and prejudice could mean a gifted child is overlooked" (2001: 4). Kokot's (1998: 35) view that the clarion call of gifted learners around the world is "school is boring" is supported by Sisk (2002), who mentions during an interview, that a consequence of the constant revision of work already mastered by gifted children is that they "learn" to underachieve. Sisk adds that gifted students are at the highest risk of not receiving the appropriate type of education in a regular classroom in an inclusive system (Seevers & Shaughnessy, 2003: 18).…”

Some Thoughts on the Training of Teachers of Gifted Learners

Ten years after the demise of the apartheid system in South Africa (SA), the ratio achieving gifted: non-achieving gifted is still woefully inadequate. The need for gifted learners to be better equipped for the challenges of a post-modern society and tertiary study needs to be highlighted, since far too many of the gifted currently do not stand even the remotest chance of achieving up to near their potential.Furthermore, the narrative of democratic change in SA during the final decade of the 20 th century has been a chronicle of the demise of a "racially and culturally segregated and differentiated education system based on the ideology of Christian National Education" (Porteus, 2003: 13).The equality clause in the Constitution implies that all citizens will be treated equally, viz. "Equality includes the full and equal enjoyment of all rights and freedoms … The state may not discriminate directly or indirectly against anyone on one or more grounds …" (1996, Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, Section 9, Chapter 2). Yet, there is some concern about the possibility that gifted children might be "viewed with mistrust and dislike and deliberately ostracised" and that their human rights will not be recognised (Kokot, 1998: 2) under the new dispensation (also see Sherman, 1997: 3). Despite the publication of a number of official and media reports on challenges in education, "the plight of the gifted learner is seldom mentioned" (Kokot, 1999: 270).In the light of the aforementioned, the purpose of this article is to examine the necessity for and the provision of suitable training for teachers who are required to provide for the needs of gifted learners in the mainstream. 1 We express our gratitude to Mrs. Elsabè Olivier, Academic Information Services: University of Pretoria, who provided invaluable support during the process of retrieving information. Research designWe chose a multimethod (QUAL-quan) mode of inquiry, involving a combination of qualitative and semi-quantitative methods. We selected an explorative, interpretative approach, implying that the aim was to understand epistemologically in a trustworthy way, but nonetheless accepting that researchersʹ perceptions of reality not only vary, but, in fact, differ greatly. Sample SelectionThree and four universities respectively (see next section) were randomly selected to ascertain (by examining the relevant yearbooks) the extent of courses on gifted education. In addition twelve universities were included in a brief telephonic survey (including the seven in the yearbook survey) to determine whether the curricula had changed after 2004. Data Collection, Intervention, Processing of Data and ResultsThe qualitative part of the research comprises a literature study to obtain information regarding possible ways in which teachers could be trained to plan and teach the
