摘要：All human abilities can be developed, and therefore my intent is to call attention to the potentially gifted (that is to say, those who could "make it" under the right conditions) as well as to those who have been studied because they gained some type of recognition. The purpose of gifted children education is to provide young people with maximum opportunities for self-fulfillment through the development and expression of one or a combination of performance areas where superior potential may be present. Carrying this point one step further, we might even conclude that appropriate kinds of learning experiences can and should be engineered to achieve the goals described above. In this day and age, when knowledge is expanding at almost geometric proportions, it would seem wise to consider a model that focuses on how our most able students access and make use of information rather than merely on how they accumulate and store it.
