Abstract

In this section the focus is on assessment, pedagogy, and curriculum for gifted students within a variety of educational contexts, from early childhood to university. The chapter begins with some discourse on the gifted curriculum and pedagogy, by tapping into curriculum and pedagogic ideologies. I examine each chapter’s foci in this section, by exploring the overall question: What is the purpose of schooling for gifted students? However, do these chapters answer this question? I would suggest no, but they go part way to highlighting the key issues in the Asia-Pacific Rim countries when the researchers are researching to inform practice and educators within these countries are endeavouring to teach and assess gifted students’ holistic needs in order to frame their learning as effectively as possible for potential to thrive.
