Description:
The project focuses of the different ways that education of gifted pupils is addresses
in different partner regions: on the one hand segregate in Ulm, Baden-Württemberg,
in integrative forms in Linz, Upper Austria. The best of both funding schemes were
recognized conceptually and systemically analysed and developed. It controlled the
school administration at the same time running processes, extracurricular
partners were responsible for the development and evaluation process, the
participating schools developed the curricular models and tested it. The study also
considered in this context, issues of gender, migration and transfer to secondary
schools.
The Ramsauer High School and the Albert-Einstein-Gymnasium developed specialized
Enrichmentkonzeptionen on the basis of their educational plans and offered to design
innovative forms of teaching. Additional extracurricular activities such as the
Summer School or College students were integrated. The Department of Curriculum
and Teacher Education Association Foundation and the Staatliches Seminar Stuttgart
accompanied talents and evaluated these operations. They helped to determine the
diagnosis and individual needs with differentiated measures within the heterogeneous
needs. The development of a training plan for teachers allows the professional
handling of heterogeneity and leads to a much larger potential cognitive and
social activation in appropriate learning arrangements. This leads to an overall
strategy of gifted education that is provided to all schools with integrated and
segregated funding available, so as to optimize an appropriate European contribution
to the development of special talents. The outcomes, Pedagogical and Methodological
Studies are directly downloadable in the project site.
